A heavy slab-serif display face with broad, blocky proportions and a compact, squared construction. The letterforms feature bracketless slabs, flattened terminals, and slightly rounded outside corners, creating a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. A consistent distressed texture breaks up strokes and counters with speckling and worn patches, as if from rough printing or aged signage. Spacing feels generous and the rhythm is punchy, with simplified interior shapes that keep forms legible even under the weathered treatment.
Best used for short, bold copy such as posters, headlines, event graphics, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also fits thematic signage and titles that benefit from a vintage or rugged voice, and works well in merch-style graphics and stamp-like applications.
The overall tone is rugged and nostalgic, evoking old posters, stamped labels, and frontier-style signage. The distressed finish adds grit and authenticity while the chunky slabs keep it friendly and approachable rather than severe. It reads as attention-grabbing and characterful, suited to designs that want a worn-in, hands-on feel.
This design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif poster structure with a worn, inked finish to quickly signal a vintage, rough-printed aesthetic. The chunky construction prioritizes impact and readability, while the distress layer supplies atmosphere and character for themed display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, squared design language, with sturdy numerals that match the same chipped-ink texture. The distress is uniform enough to feel intentional and repeatable, but irregular enough to avoid looking sterile; at small sizes the texture may visually darken interiors, so it rewards larger settings.
