A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions, open counters, and a mostly upright stance. Strokes show a printed, worn texture: edges are slightly ragged, ink appears to break up in places, and some terminals look scuffed rather than cleanly cut. Serifs are blunt and bracketed, with rounded joins that give the forms a sturdy, poster-like presence. Overall rhythm is steady and readable, with simple, chunky silhouettes and a subtly uneven inked finish.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, and packaging where the rough-printed texture can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial titling or book-cover typography when a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice is desired, but the distressing may be too busy for small body text.
The distressed texture and robust slabs evoke a vintage, workshop-printed feel—confident, practical, and a little gritty. It carries a warm, handmade tone that suggests analog production and timeworn materials rather than polished modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to combine the dependable structure of a slab serif with an intentionally weathered ink texture, delivering a bold, analog tone for attention-grabbing titles and themed branding.
Capitals are strong and compact in feel, while lowercase remains straightforward and highly legible; the numerals match the same solid, worn-in construction. The texture is consistent enough to read as intentional printing wear, especially noticeable at larger sizes where the inky irregularities become part of the character.
