A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. The letterforms feature chunky, bracketed/flared serifs and softly rounded joins, with slightly irregular outlines and mottled interiors that simulate worn ink and rough printing. Strokes are generally sturdy with modest contrast, and spacing feels open and poster-like, helping the dense shapes stay readable at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings like posters, event titles, storefront-style signage, labels, and brand marks where a rugged, vintage voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts or chapter openers, but the built-in distress makes it less appropriate for long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone evokes old-time print ephemera—saloon posters, circus bills, and stamped packaging—mixing toughness with a friendly, slightly whimsical charm. The distressed texture adds grit and nostalgia without fully obscuring the forms.
Designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing slab-serif silhouette with a pre-worn, printed patina, suggesting age, grit, and handmade production while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible for display typography.
Texture is baked into the glyphs (not just the edges), so the font’s character depends on solid fills and benefits from generous size and contrast against the background. Numerals match the same chunky, worn display style for cohesive headings and badges.
