A heavy slab-serif text face with compact proportions and a slightly uneven, inked silhouette. Strokes show roughened edges and small interior nicks that mimic worn type or imperfect printing, while keeping clear, sturdy letterforms. Serifs are blunt and rectangular, counters are fairly open, and spacing feels workmanlike with modest irregularity that adds texture without collapsing readability. Numerals match the same rugged, stamped-in character.
Well-suited for posters, title cards, album or book covers, and packaging where a vintage printed feel is desirable. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or short paragraphs when you want a robust, tactile voice, especially in noir, western, industrial, or archival-themed layouts.
The font conveys an analog, archival mood—like a vintage typewriter or letterpress impression pulled from a well-used ribbon. Its gritty texture adds a sense of age, authenticity, and reportage, lending a slightly noir or industrial tone to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to recreate the impression of mechanical or letterpress typography that has been used hard—retaining classic slab-serif structure while adding believable wear and ink spread. It prioritizes strong presence and period flavor over pristine precision.
The distressed effect is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with intentional edge breakup rather than random splatter. The overall rhythm remains steady, so the roughness reads as material texture (ink/paper wear) more than chaos, making it suitable for display and strong text settings where character is desired.
