A heavy slab-serif design with compact, sturdy letterforms and pronounced, blocky terminals. Edges are irregular and ragged, as if ink has bled or the printing surface was worn, creating uneven contours and occasional interior roughness. Counters stay generally open and legible, but the distressed texture introduces small nicks and waviness that break the outline rhythm. The overall feel is solid and grounded, with a slightly condensed, utilitarian structure and a consistently rough imprint across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited for display typography in posters, album or book covers, packaging, and identity marks that benefit from a tactile, printed texture. It can also work for short headlines or pull quotes where a distressed, utilitarian voice is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long body text at small sizes due to the intentional roughness.
The font communicates a raw, workmanlike attitude—evoking worn machinery, stamped labels, and aged documents. Its rough texture adds a sense of grit and immediacy, suggesting something archival, handmade, or reproduced through imperfect processes rather than polished modern typesetting.
The design appears intended to simulate a weathered print or stamped impression while retaining the familiar structure of a slab-serif/typewriter-like form. It aims to provide strong impact and legibility with added character through consistent, controlled distressing.
The distressing is prominent enough to become part of the silhouette, so it reads best at display sizes where the ragged edges can be appreciated without clogging. The numerals share the same worn, inked character, supporting cohesive use in headings, posters, and labeling.
