A heavy, serifed display face with irregular, distressed contours and a noticeably inky, hand-printed texture. Strokes are thick with subtly uneven widths, producing a slightly lively rhythm across lines. Serifs and terminals look chipped and blunted rather than crisp, and counters show small imperfections that read like worn type or rough stamping. Proportions feel traditional and upright overall, with a gentle rightward slant in the flow and visible width variation between glyphs that adds to the handcrafted impression.
Works best for display settings such as posters, event graphics, product packaging, labels, and signage where a worn, vintage presence is desirable. It’s well-suited to short headlines, punchy taglines, and wordmarks that benefit from a gritty printed feel, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is rugged and nostalgic, evoking old posters, saloon signage, and well-used letterpress or rubber-stamp printing. Its roughened edges and dark color give it an assertive, slightly rowdy voice that feels weathered rather than refined.
Likely designed to mimic the look of aged, imperfect printing—combining classic serif structures with deliberate erosion and ink spread. The goal appears to be a bold, characterful voice that feels authentic and tactile rather than clean and contemporary.
In the sample text, the distressed texture remains consistent at larger sizes and becomes a defining feature of the letterforms. The numerals and lowercase keep the same chipped, ink-bleed character, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive even with mixed-case settings.
