A heavy slab-serif design with blocky proportions, softened corners, and a dense overall color. The letterforms show uneven, worn contours and mottled interior texture that mimics degraded ink coverage or rough printing, creating a consistently distressed edge across caps, lowercase, and figures. Serifs are broad and blunt with minimal bracketing, and counters are fairly open for the weight, helping shapes remain recognizable in text. Spacing and widths feel natural rather than monospaced, with sturdy verticals and rounded joins that keep the texture from looking overly sharp or spiky.
Best suited to display work where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and merch graphics. It can also support short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when you want a rugged print feel, but the heavy weight and surface wear favor larger sizes and strong contrast with the background.
The font conveys a weathered, workmanlike tone—more bootleg printshop than polished editorial. Its roughness reads as authentic and tactile, suggesting age, friction, and material surfaces like wood, paper, or stamped packaging. The mood is bold and assertive, with an approachable, slightly playful nod to old posters and utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold slab-serif foundation with an intentionally imperfect, printed patina. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere—evoking worn type and tactile production—while keeping core letterforms clear enough for confident display typography.
Distress is integrated into the strokes rather than applied as random speckling, so the type retains coherent silhouettes at display sizes. The figures follow the same stout, slabbed construction and carry the same worn edge treatment, supporting consistent numerals in headlines and labels.
