A heavy, slab‑serif display face with compact proportions and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms are mostly upright and fairly round in the bowls, with chunky, flared terminals and broad feet that read as slabby but irregular. Edges are intentionally rough and nicked, creating a worn ink/pressed look; curves show slight wobble and small bites along contours. Spacing appears steady but the silhouettes have a subtly uneven rhythm, reinforcing the distressed texture while keeping counters open enough for display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale uses where the rough edge detail can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and themed packaging. It can also work for short logotypes or badges where a vintage, tactile texture is desirable, but it’s less suited to long-form text at small sizes due to the heavy weight and distressed contours.
The overall tone feels rustic and old-timey, with a rugged, printed-on-paper character. Its distressed finish suggests weathered signage and vintage ephemera, while the bulbous shapes and soft corners keep it friendly rather than severe.
Designed to evoke a vintage, hand-printed display feel with intentional wear and irregularity. The goal appears to be strong impact and personality—combining slab-serif sturdiness with a distressed surface for themed, attention-first typography.
Numerals are stout and attention-grabbing, matching the letter weight and texture; the 0 is strongly oval, and figures have the same worn contour treatment as the alphabet. Uppercase forms read especially poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same chunky voice with simple, sturdy construction.
