A heavy, slab‑serif display face with visibly roughened contours that mimic worn type or inky letterpress. Strokes are sturdy with moderately uneven edges, softened corners, and occasional blobby terminals that suggest ink spread. The serif structure reads clearly, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, giving each glyph a slightly different texture and silhouette. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, while the overall rhythm feels lively and slightly unpredictable across letters and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is a feature: posters, title cards, storefront-style signage, product packaging, and label systems. It also works well for branding moments that want an aged or tactile print feel, especially at medium to large sizes where the distressed edges can be appreciated.
The font conveys a nostalgic, hard‑working attitude—part old poster, part distressed stamp. Its rough texture adds grit and authenticity, evoking analogue printing, weathered signage, and heritage craft aesthetics.
The design appears intended to combine a classic slab-serif foundation with a deliberately degraded print texture, delivering a bold display voice that feels historical and handmade rather than pristine.
Capitals have a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same distressed treatment and compact, sturdy forms. Numerals match the rugged texture and maintain clear differentiation, making short numeric strings feel cohesive with headline text.
