A condensed, high-contrast slab serif with bracketed serifs and sturdy vertical stems. The letterforms have a classic, poster-style construction with sharp joins and generous counters, while a consistent worn texture breaks up strokes and adds speckling and edge erosion throughout. Curves are taut and slightly flattened in places, giving the shapes a carved, display-oriented feel. Spacing and widths vary by character in a natural, typeset rhythm, keeping the overall color compact and emphatic.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and titling where the worn texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, labels, and brand marks that want a heritage or handcrafted edge, especially in applications that reference old print, saloon-style signage, or rustic merchandising.
The texture and condensed slabs evoke aged printing, old signage, and frontier-era display typography. It feels assertive and theatrical, with a weathered grit that reads as authentic, tough, and attention-seeking rather than polished or minimal.
Designed to deliver a classic slab-serif display voice with built-in age and print wear, combining strong contrast and condensed proportions for impact while using texture to create an intentionally imperfect, lived-in impression.
The distress is integrated into both interiors and edges, so the font’s tone comes through strongly even at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong sign-painter energy, while lowercase retains the same rugged texture for cohesive text settings.
