A dense, chunky slab-serif with broad strokes and large, squared-off serifs. The outlines feel intentionally roughened, with slightly uneven edges and subtle notches that create a stamped or worn texture rather than clean geometry. Counters are relatively compact and the interior shapes stay sturdy at display sizes, while spacing and widths vary enough to give lines a lively, hand-set rhythm.
Best suited for display typography where texture and personality are assets: posters, headlines, badges, storefront-style signage, and bold branding moments. It can also work on packaging and labels that benefit from a vintage or stamped look, especially in short bursts of text.
The overall tone is bold and characterful, leaning toward vintage Americana and old poster lettering. Its rough finish adds a gritty, workmanlike attitude that reads as approachable and a bit mischievous rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab foundation, then add personality through distressed, imperfect contours. The goal appears to be a loud, attention-grabbing display face that evokes historical printing or worn signage while remaining highly legible at larger sizes.
The rugged edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive. The strong verticals and heavy serifs create a stable silhouette that holds up well in short, emphatic phrases and headlines.
