A slab-serif face with sturdy, nearly uniform strokes and prominent, square-ended serifs. The outlines are intentionally roughened and irregular, creating a worn, ink-bled texture around stems, bowls, and terminals while keeping the underlying letterforms conventional and readable. Proportions are moderately wide with a steady rhythm; counters stay fairly open, and the lowercase shows simple, workmanlike construction with a single-storey “a” and compact joins. Numerals and capitals share the same heavy, blocky presence, with consistent serif treatment and minimal contrast throughout.
Best suited to display settings where texture is desirable: posters, cover titling, packaging, labels, and branding that aims for a vintage or rugged feel. It can work for short editorial headlines or pull quotes, especially when a typewritten/printed patina is part of the art direction.
The overall tone feels like battered printing—part typewriter, part stamped signage—suggesting age, use, and a slightly gritty atmosphere. It conveys a utilitarian, old-world character that can read as archival, noir, or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to merge a robust slab-serif skeleton with a deliberately degraded outline, capturing the look of aged letterpress, worn type, or imperfect inking while preserving familiar, straightforward forms for legibility.
The distressed edge texture is consistent across glyphs, so the font reads as a cohesive ‘worn print’ style rather than random noise. At smaller sizes the roughening may visually thicken joins and edges, while at larger sizes it becomes a prominent stylistic detail.
