A heavy slab-serif with broad, rounded forms and softly flared terminals. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast, while corners and joins show subtle roughness and small interior nicks that mimic worn ink or distressed printing. The serifs are sturdy and bracketed, giving the letters a carved, poster-like silhouette; counters are generous and open, helping the dense weight stay readable. Overall spacing feels even and headline-friendly, with a slightly bouncy, hand-pressed rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Works best in large sizes where the worn details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, labels, and branding that wants a vintage or western-leaning voice. It can also suit signage and short bursts of copy (menus, event titles, product names) where a sturdy slab-serif personality and textured finish add instant atmosphere.
The face reads as vintage and frontier-adjacent, combining saloon-poster warmth with a rugged, weathered finish. Its softened shapes keep it friendly and approachable, while the distressed texture adds grit and character. The overall tone is energetic and theatrical, suited to bold, attention-getting messages with a nostalgic edge.
Designed to deliver a bold, nostalgic slab-serif voice with a deliberately aged surface—evoking letterpress, wood type, or well-worn signage. The goal appears to be high-impact readability paired with characterful distressing for thematic display work.
Uppercase letters project a strong, sign-painting presence, while the lowercase retains the same chunky structure for consistent color in text. Numerals are equally stout and rounded, matching the display intent. The distressing is noticeable but controlled, suggesting aged print rather than extreme erosion.
