A heavy, high-contrast display serif with a deliberately distressed, hand-printed silhouette. Strokes are chunky with abrupt, chiseled terminals and irregular contour break-up that suggests worn type or rough inking. Serifs are sturdy and block-like rather than delicate, and counters show occasional nicks and uneven interior edges. Letter widths vary noticeably, giving lines a lively, uneven rhythm while remaining strongly upright and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, labels, and packaging that want an aged or hand-printed feel. It can work for editorial pull quotes or section heads when you want strong personality, but the intentional roughness is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and rugged, with a craftsmanlike, frontier/folk-print character. The rough edges and uneven inking add grit and personality, leaning toward poster-era ephemera rather than polished contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed letterpress or woodtype printing, preserving bold readability while introducing irregular edge wear and ink variation for atmosphere and authenticity.
Uppercase forms read as compact and poster-forward, while the lowercase carries the same distressed texture and a slightly bouncy texture in running text. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, with the same chipped, worn detailing that helps the set feel cohesive across letters and figures.
