A heavy, slanted serif with irregular, chiseled contours and uneven ink-like edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in impression, with small wedge serifs and occasional spur-like terminals that give a carved or stamped feel. Counters are compact and slightly inconsistent, and the overall rhythm shows mild wobble and width variation from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a distressed, analog texture.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, headlines, themed packaging, event flyers, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or signage-style compositions, but the rough edges and dense forms make it less ideal for small body text.
The tone is gritty and old-timey, evoking worn print, saloon signage, and rough-stamped ephemera. Its energetic slant and broken edges add a playful, slightly unruly character that reads more expressive than formal.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect printing or worn lettering while keeping a sturdy serif structure and strong silhouette. The goal appears to be a distinctive, thematic display face that communicates grit and nostalgia at a glance.
The distressing is integrated into the letterforms rather than applied uniformly, creating a lively, organic pattern across text. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence, while lowercase remains legible but intentionally irregular, making the texture more noticeable in longer strings.
