A heavy, serifed typeface with visibly roughened outlines that mimic worn letterpress or ink spread. Stems and serifs are stout and slightly bulbous, with uneven edges and small nicks that create a consistent distressed texture across the alphabet. Counters remain fairly open for the weight, while joins and terminals show organic variation, giving the line a handmade, imperfect rhythm. Spacing feels slightly irregular and the set has a sturdy, poster-like color on the page.
Works best for display typography such as posters, event titles, product packaging, labels, and shop or venue signage where a tactile, aged-print look is desired. It can also support branding accents or pull quotes when you want a sturdy, nostalgic voice with a bit of grit.
The overall tone is vintage and rustic, evoking aged print, old packaging, and well-used signage. Its rough texture adds grit and tactility, making it feel handcrafted and slightly rugged rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to recreate the feel of vintage printing with intentional wear—combining traditional serif forms with roughened edges to suggest age, ink gain, and imperfect production. The goal appears to be strong impact with a convincingly analog, weathered texture.
In the sample text, the distressed contouring is strong enough to read at display sizes, where the rough edge becomes a key stylistic feature. At smaller sizes, the texture and dense strokes may visually merge, so it tends to favor headlines and short statements over long-form copy.
