A heavy slab-serif display face with compact proportions, squared counters, and sturdy verticals. Serifs are blocky and slightly flared, with blunt terminals and subtly irregular corners. The outlines show visible wear and ink spread: edges look nicked and softened, and interiors carry small voids and rough patches that mimic distressed printing. Spacing feels tight and rhythmic, with strong silhouettes and relatively small apertures that keep the texture dense at headline sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short emphatic lines where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that aims for a vintage or rugged feel. For long text or small sizes, the dense weight and worn details may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is rugged and nostalgic, evoking old signage and printed ephemera. Its distressed texture adds grit and authenticity, while the bold, straightforward shapes keep it energetic and attention-grabbing rather than delicate.
The font appears designed to channel traditional slab-serif display lettering—especially wood-type and old print aesthetics—while adding intentional wear to suggest age, handling, or rough production. Its goal is high-impact messaging with built-in character and texture.
The distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reading like deliberate aging rather than random noise. The design favors solid mass and simple geometry, making the texture a key part of the personality and most visible at larger sizes.
