A heavy, slab-serif display face with compact proportions and softly rounded corners. Strokes are sturdy and fairly even, with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as blunt, bracketed slabs that give letters a poster-like backbone. Throughout the alphabet, the contours show intentional wear: slightly irregular edges and peppered interior texture that mimics ink bite or rough letterpress printing. Curves are full and somewhat squarish, counters stay open at display sizes, and overall spacing feels built for impactful headlines rather than tight text setting.
Well suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, event titles, storefront-style signage, product packaging, and label designs where texture is part of the voice. It also works as a supporting accent in branding systems that want a vintage print feel, especially when set large enough for the distress detail to read clearly.
The texture and chunky slabs create a nostalgic, rough-and-ready tone that feels pulled from old posters and printed ephemera. It balances grit with friendliness, reading more handcrafted and charming than aggressive, and it naturally signals a throwback, Americana-leaning mood.
The design appears intended to evoke worn letterpress or woodtype printing through a bold slab-serif structure paired with controlled, repeatable distress. It aims for immediate display legibility while adding visual flavor via speckled ink texture and softened, slightly irregular contours.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving cohesive “printed” character rather than random damage. Numerals are especially robust and decorative, matching the face’s poster weight and adding a slightly quirky, handmade rhythm in running figures.
