A heavy slab-serif display face with compact, blocky forms and a tall lowercase presence. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with short, bracketed slabs and softened corners that give the silhouettes a carved, woodtype-like build. The defining feature is the rough, eroded contour: edges wobble and chip, counters show irregular bite-marks and blobs, and interior shapes sometimes partially fill in, creating a worn-print texture. Spacing appears sturdy and slightly tight, producing dense, high-impact word shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where texture is part of the message—posters, headlines, flyers, album art, packaging, and bold wordmarks. It works especially well when paired with clean sans or neutral text faces that let the distressed display style carry the visual character.
The overall tone is gritty and nostalgic, evoking old posters, stamped labels, and well-used letterpress type. Its uneven inking and torn-looking edges add a rebellious, handmade energy while still reading as bold and straightforward.
Likely designed to deliver an old-print, roughened display look—capturing the feel of worn woodtype or heavily inked stamping while preserving strong letter recognition at large sizes.
Uppercase letters keep a strong, squat presence, while the lowercase maintains a chunky rhythm with simplified joins and occasional dark spots that can close up at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same distressed texture and weight, maintaining a consistent, poster-like solidity across the set.
