A bold, forward-leaning serif with pronounced wedge and slab-like terminals, compact curves, and a slightly uneven, hand-inked rhythm. Strokes show deliberate roughening and interior scuffing that reads like worn letterpress or stamped ink, creating mottled counters and imperfect edges. Proportions are broad with sturdy capitals and round, weighty lowercase; the overall color is dark and assertive with occasional bounce from irregular contours and varied stroke endings.
Best suited for display typography where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, product labels, packaging, and signage that benefits from a worn-print feel. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a bold, characterful serif is desired.
The texture and slanted stance give the face a rugged, nostalgic voice that feels at home in Americana and old-print ephemera. Its distressed finish adds grit and character, while the chunky forms keep it friendly and approachable rather than severe.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, slanted serif with a convincingly worn ink texture, evoking vintage print and rustic signage while retaining clear letterforms for attention-grabbing display use.
Texture is consistent across letters and numerals, with especially noticeable speckling in bowls and along curves, so the distressed effect remains visible at display sizes. The italics-like slant and heavy mass produce strong headline impact, but the rough edges can visually thicken in smaller settings.
