A heavy slab-serif with bracketed serifs and softened, irregular contours that mimic worn printing or ink spread. Strokes are sturdy and mostly monolinear in feel, with subtle swelling and choppy edges that create a textured silhouette. Counters are fairly open, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm is lively due to small inconsistencies in curves, joins, and spur details across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where texture is a feature: posters, product packaging, labels, editorial headlines, and book or album covers. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes, where the distressed edges remain legible rather than turning to noise.
The texture and uneven inking give it a tactile, analog tone—suggesting aged paper, letterpress impressions, or weathered signage. It reads as confident and expressive, with a slightly rough-and-ready character that adds personality without becoming chaotic.
Likely designed to capture the feel of vintage printed matter with deliberate wear—bringing a classic slab-serif foundation together with distressed, inked imperfections to create instant atmosphere and visual grit.
Capitals feel compact and sturdy, while the lowercase shows a friendly, readable structure with noticeable ink traps and rough interior speckling in places. Numerals follow the same chunky, printed logic, maintaining a consistent weight and presence for display settings.
