A sturdy slab-serif text face with straightforward, upright construction and mostly even stroke weight. The serifs are blunt and squared off, with subtle rounding and slight irregularities that read like ink spread or worn printing rather than sharp digital outlines. Curves (C, O, Q) are open and generously proportioned, while joins and terminals stay firm and mechanical, giving the alphabet a steady, workmanlike rhythm. Lowercase forms are conventional and readable, with a single-storey "g" and simple, compact shapes; numerals are clear and sturdy with similarly squared terminals.
Well-suited for packaging, labels, and posters that benefit from a tactile, printed look, as well as book covers and editorial headlines where a traditional slab-serif presence is desired. It can also work for short-to-medium text passages when a subtly weathered, analog tone is appropriate.
The overall tone feels archival and timeworn—like a practical print face pulled from an older, well-used book or a stamped label. Its mild roughness adds grit and tactility without becoming chaotic, projecting a grounded, no-nonsense character with a subtle vintage pull.
Likely designed to combine the dependable readability of a classic slab-serif with a controlled distressed texture, evoking aged ink, letterpress wear, or stamped print artifacts while keeping forms stable and familiar.
Texture is consistent across glyphs, creating a cohesive distressed effect that remains legible in paragraph settings. The ampersand and capitals keep a restrained, classic posture, supporting a traditional editorial feel while the worn edges supply visual interest.
