A heavy slab-serif display face with broad proportions and sturdy, blocky construction. Strokes show noticeably roughened, ink-worn edges and occasional interior speckling, producing a printed-from-type or stamped impression rather than clean vector geometry. Serifs are thick and blunt with slightly uneven terminals, and curves (notably in bowls and counters) feel softly squared and compact. Spacing and widths vary by character, giving lines a lively, irregular rhythm while remaining legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, event titles, album or book covers, product packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but the rough edges make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The texture and chunky slabs evoke an old-fashioned, workmanlike tone—part frontier poster, part letterpress broadside. It feels informal and tactile, with a friendly roughness that reads as authentic, handmade, and a bit mischievous.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-getting slab-serif voice with a worn, inked finish—suggesting age, grit, and physical printing processes. The goal appears to be strong readability with added character from deliberate irregularity and texture.
The distressed detailing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture reads as an intentional surface treatment rather than random noise. Numerals are robust and attention-grabbing, matching the headline-first personality of the letters.
