A heavy, blocky slab with wedge-like serifs and a subtly uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and compact with small spur details, occasional notches, and slightly bumpy edges that create a distressed, woodtype-like texture. Counters are generally tight and rounded-rectangular, and the overall color is dark and dense, with modest stroke modulation that helps forms stay readable despite the rugged shaping.
Best suited to display work where a bold, textured voice is desired: posters, event flyers, headlines, packaging, and signage. It can also serve for short logotypes or badges where a vintage or western-leaning tone is appropriate, but the rugged contouring may feel busy in long passages at small sizes.
The texture and flared slabs evoke old posters, saloon signage, and fairground bills—bold, playful, and a little unruly. Its irregularities add a handmade, analog character that feels nostalgic and attention-seeking rather than refined or corporate.
Designed to channel vintage slab-serif display typography with a deliberately distressed, hand-made finish. The goal appears to be high impact and personality—suggesting printed wood type or carved lettering—while preserving clear letterforms for bold display reading.
The alphabet shows intentional variability in edge treatment and serif shaping, giving lines of text a lively rhythm. In the sample paragraph, the strong verticals and chunky terminals keep words legible at display sizes, while the rough details become more pronounced as the size increases.
