A heavy slab-serif display face with compact, rounded forms and blunt terminals. Strokes are thick and steady with only modest contrast, and the serifs read as short, blocky feet with softened corners rather than sharp brackets. The texture is defined by scattered interior speckling and slightly irregular edges that mimic worn ink or letterpress pickup, giving the black shapes a mottled, tactile finish. Counters are generally small for the weight, and spacing feels sturdy and poster-oriented, with a consistent, upright rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, product labels, menus, event graphics, and bold branding marks where texture can be appreciated. It works well when you want a strong slab-serif structure but with a weathered, printed character that stands out at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and handmade, evoking old posters, packaging, and fairground or western-leaning signage. The distressed texture adds warmth and grit, making the voice more informal and characterful than neutral.
The design appears intended to combine a classic slab-serif display skeleton with a controlled distressed treatment, delivering an immediately nostalgic, tactile look without sacrificing the solidity of the letterforms.
The distressing appears as peppered voids within strokes rather than dramatic tears, so the silhouette stays strong while the fill gains texture. Numerals and capitals carry a similarly bold, decorative presence, supporting headline use where a worn print look is desirable.
