A heavy slab-serif design with compact counters, sturdy verticals, and pronounced blocky serifs. The letterforms show rough, broken contours and uneven interior wear that mimics ink gain, erosion, or coarse printing, producing a mottled texture across strokes. Curves are slightly angular and simplified, and the overall rhythm is assertive and compact, with substantial stroke mass and clear, upright structure. Numerals match the same rugged treatment and weight, maintaining consistent texture and presence.
This style suits display applications where strong impact and texture are desirable, such as posters, headlines, product labels, and themed signage. It can add an aged, tactile voice to titles and short passages, and works well when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The distressed imprint and chunky slabs give the font a gritty, tactile character that feels vintage and workmanlike. It suggests aged signage and utilitarian printing—confident, a bit rowdy, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif proportions with a deliberately worn printing effect, delivering immediate visibility while evoking age, grit, and handmade production.
Texture is prominent enough to become part of the color of the text, especially in larger blocks, where the worn interiors create a lively, uneven tone. The bold weight and compact apertures make it most visually stable at display sizes where the distressed detail can read as intentional rather than noise.
