A heavy slab-serif design with compact proportions, squared-off terminals, and pronounced, blocky serifs. The strokes show a consistent roughened texture with chipped edges and small interior voids that mimic imperfect inking or worn type, giving the outlines a stamped, slightly eroded look. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is sturdy and deliberate, with simplified joins and a strong vertical stance that reads clearly at display sizes.
Well-suited for posters, titles, and large headings where the worn texture can be appreciated, as well as packaging, labels, and badge or logo lockups that benefit from a stamped/printed feel. It can also work for short bursts of editorial or pull-quote typography when a gritty, vintage tone is desired.
The font conveys a rugged, analog attitude—evoking stamped packaging, old posters, and workmanlike signage. Its distressed surface adds grit and nostalgia while keeping the letterforms assertive and attention-getting.
Likely intended to deliver classic slab-serif authority while adding an intentionally imperfect, tactile print texture. The design prioritizes bold presence and a convincingly aged surface for thematic branding and display typography.
Distressing is distributed across stems, serifs, and bowls rather than concentrated in one area, helping the texture feel integrated instead of purely decorative. Numerals match the same blunt, slabbed construction and worn detailing, supporting cohesive headline and badge-style compositions.
