A heavy slab-serif display face with chunky proportions and blunt terminals. The letterforms show irregular, distressed contours—like chipped edges, worn corners, and uneven ink spread—while maintaining a largely consistent underlying structure. Serifs are square and prominent, with compact counters and tight apertures that emphasize solid, poster-like silhouettes. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally rough, printed texture.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, and punchy logotypes where a worn, tactile texture adds character. It also works well for event flyers and themed graphics that benefit from a bold, vintage, rough-printed impression.
The font projects a rugged, old-time tone that feels loud and tactile, like letterpress type pulled from a well-used block. Its rough edges and stout shapes add a mischievous, rowdy energy that reads as retro and handmade rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with an intentionally weathered finish, evoking worn print and imperfect inking while keeping recognizable, sturdy slab-serif forms for confident readability at display sizes.
The distressing appears applied across both uppercase and lowercase in a consistent way, creating a cohesive texture in lines of text. At smaller sizes the roughness can visually thicken joins and narrow counters, so it favors headline settings where the chipped details can be appreciated.
