A condensed slab-serif display face with sturdy verticals, compact counters, and pronounced bracketed slabs. Strokes show visible wear and uneven inking along edges and inside forms, producing a rough, letterpress-like texture while keeping the core shapes crisp and legible. Uppercase proportions are tall and blocky, and the lowercase is built with simplified, upright forms and a prominent, sturdy rhythm. Numerals match the heavy, poster-oriented construction with consistent weight and similarly distressed detailing.
Best suited to display sizes for posters, event flyers, signage, and branding that benefits from a vintage print texture. It also works well on labels and packaging where a rugged, old-time feel is desired, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The texture and woodtype structure give it a frontier-era, print-shop personality—confident, workmanlike, and slightly gritty. It reads as nostalgic and handcrafted rather than polished, with an assertive tone suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to evoke distressed woodtype and letterpress printing: condensed, high-impact shapes combined with intentional wear for a tactile, analog look that feels archival and bold on the page.
Distressing is fairly consistent across the set, with small chips, nicks, and mottled interiors that suggest worn type or rough printing. Spacing and silhouettes stay disciplined enough that the font remains readable in short lines, while the texture becomes more apparent as size increases.
