A heavy, slanted slab-serif with compact counters and blunt terminals. Strokes appear uneven and slightly swollen, with rough, chipped contours that suggest worn type or ink spread. Serifs are blocky and squared off, while curves are broadly rounded, giving the letterforms a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, and the overall rhythm reads like bold display type stamped onto absorbent stock.
Best suited to display applications where texture is an asset: posters, event titles, rugged branding, label and packaging graphics, and large-format signage. It works particularly well when you want a bold, vintage-stamped look in short phrases rather than long reading passages.
The font conveys a gritty, tactile energy—like aged signage, stamped packaging, or a well-used rubber stamp. Its roughened edges and dense black color create a tough, workmanlike tone with a hint of retro character. The italic slant adds motion and urgency, pushing the voice toward action-oriented, attention-getting headlines.
The design appears intended to mimic bold slab-serif type that has been printed under imperfect conditions, adding grit and wear while keeping letterforms robust and easily recognizable. The consistent distress and strong silhouette suggest a focus on impactful display typography with an aged, industrial sensibility.
In the sample text, the distressed contouring remains clear at large sizes, while the dense weight and tight internal spaces can make smaller settings feel dark and textured. The numerals share the same blunt, worn shaping, reinforcing a cohesive display personality.
