A heavy, monospaced slab-serif design with a stamped, ink-pressed look. Strokes are broad and fairly even, with chunky slab terminals and rounded interior corners that keep counters open despite the weight. Edges are deliberately irregular and blotched, producing a worn-print texture; the distressing appears consistently across letters and numerals rather than as random damage. The overall silhouette is wide and steady, with a strong baseline and compact, blocky forms that read as robust and poster-like.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is an asset—headlines, posters, labels, and branding marks that want an aged, printed character. It can also work for brief passages in larger sizes where the distressed edges remain clear and intentional.
The texture and slabby shapes evoke old typewriter output, rough letterpress work, and frontier-era signage. Its imperfect edges add a gritty, handmade tone that feels nostalgic, utilitarian, and a bit rugged rather than refined.
The font appears designed to simulate imperfect mechanical printing with a deliberate distressed finish, combining monospaced spacing with bold slab forms to deliver a sturdy, vintage voice for thematic and editorial display work.
The distressing tends to pool at curves and terminals, creating occasional ink-burst shapes in bowls and joins while keeping the core letter skeleton intact. Numerals are similarly chunky and soft-edged, matching the same worn impression for cohesive alphanumeric set rhythm.
