A heavy slab-serif with compact, blocky shapes and noticeably rough, irregular edges that mimic worn ink or battered metal type. Strokes are thick with modest contrast, and terminals are blunt, producing dense letterforms with a steady, upright stance. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with slightly uneven contours and counters that create a printed, weathered rhythm rather than crisp geometry.
Well-suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, and branding where a rough, tactile personality is desired. It can work on packaging and label-style graphics, album covers, and event promos—especially when the design calls for a rugged, vintage-leaning impression rather than pristine editorial typography.
The font reads as rugged and tactile, evoking old posters, stamped labels, or hard-used type with a no-nonsense attitude. Its distressed surface adds grit and warmth, giving layouts a handmade, timeworn tone that feels assertive rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif voice while adding deliberate wear and edge breakup to simulate imperfect printing or aged material. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere, using consistent distressing to turn straightforward letterforms into a distinctive, textured display style.
Caps have a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains legibility through simple silhouettes and sturdy serifs. The distressed treatment is prominent enough to be a defining feature, so the face benefits from sufficient size and contrast against the background to keep the texture from filling in.
