A heavy, compact slab-serif with blunt, square-ended serifs and softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the outlines show subtle wobble and unevenness that reads like letterpress or hand-cut wood type rather than perfectly machined geometry. Counters are small and rounded, with sturdy joins and short, blocky terminals; the overall rhythm is slightly bouncy due to minor per-glyph irregularities. Uppercase forms feel wide and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable silhouette with a simple, robust construction.
Best suited to display work such as posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and branded packaging where a bold, vintage voice is desired. It can also work for short, punchy subheads or pull quotes, especially when you want a tactile, printed look rather than a clean contemporary finish.
The font projects a nostalgic, down-to-earth tone with a friendly roughness—more old-time print shop than modern corporate slab. Its chunky weight and imperfect edges add warmth and personality, giving headlines a folksy, handcrafted feel without becoming chaotic.
The design appears aimed at evoking classic slab-serif display type with a lightly distressed, hand-printed character—prioritizing impact and personality over strict regularity. It’s built to read quickly at large sizes while adding a nostalgic, craft-oriented texture to the page.
The numerals follow the same bold, blocky logic as the letters and hold up well as display figures. The texture is subtle enough to stay legible in short text, but it remains most distinctive when set large where the irregular outline and slab details are visible.
