A condensed, heavy slab-serif design with roughened outlines and visibly uneven inked contours. Strokes are sturdy with blunt terminals, and the counters show slight waviness and occasional nicks, producing a worn, printed texture. Serifs are blocky and bracket-free, and the overall rhythm feels woodtype-like, with small inconsistencies in edge quality that read as intentional distress rather than irregular construction.
Well suited to display settings where a vintage, tactile impression is desired—such as posters, event flyers, storefront-style signage, product packaging, and bold wordmarks. It performs best at moderate to large sizes where the distressed edges read clearly and contribute to the overall personality.
The font conveys a rustic, old-time character with a gritty, tactile feel, suggesting weathered posters and imperfect printing. Its narrow, forceful shapes add urgency and impact, while the rough texture keeps the tone informal and expressive.
The design appears intended to emulate worn letterpress or woodtype printing, combining condensed show-card proportions with deliberate edge erosion and ink spread. The goal is an attention-grabbing display face that communicates age, grit, and handmade authenticity without relying on overt ornament.
Letterforms show consistent distress across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with the roughness affecting both outer contours and inner counters. The condensed proportions and heavy color create strong presence in headlines, while the texture adds visual noise that becomes more noticeable as sizes get smaller.
