A heavy slab-serif design with compact proportions, squared counters, and strong vertical stress. The letterforms show blunt, blocky terminals and sturdy serifs, while the outlines are intentionally roughened with irregular bites, nicks, and slightly uneven edges that resemble worn metal type or distressed printing. Curves are built from chunky segments rather than smooth geometry, and the overall rhythm is tight and dense, with consistently thick stems and minimal internal delicacy.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where the rough texture can be appreciated—such as posters, product packaging, labels, and brand marks that aim for a vintage-industrial or frontier feel. It can also work for signage-inspired graphics, but the distressed detailing may reduce clarity at small sizes or in long body copy.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike tone—evoking aged posters, stamped crates, and utilitarian signage. Its distressed texture adds a sense of authenticity and wear, giving text a lived-in, gritty character rather than a polished, contemporary finish.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a classic slab serif with deliberate wear and print imperfections, producing a bold display face that feels aged, tactile, and immediately attention-grabbing.
Texture is distributed across most glyphs, with roughness appearing both on outer contours and within counters, creating an inky, slightly degraded silhouette. The numerals and capitals carry the same sturdy slab construction, helping mixed content feel cohesive at display sizes.
