A chunky slab-serif display with rounded, swollen contours and a pronounced, weighty silhouette. Stems and serifs read as short, blocky slabs with softened corners, giving the letterforms a friendly, bulbous mass rather than a sharp woodtype bite. The most distinctive feature is the mottled, eroded counter treatment: interior “bite” marks and speckled voids appear consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a worn print / scuffed ink look. Spacing feels compact and the rhythm is heavy and steady, optimized for impact at larger sizes rather than fine detail.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, event promos, product packaging, bar/restaurant signage, and logo wordmarks. It will read most clearly at medium-to-large sizes where the interior distress can be appreciated without clogging.
The overall tone is loud, rustic, and theatrical—suggesting saloon posters, carnival signage, and well-used stamp impressions. The distressed texture adds a casual, lived-in attitude that feels energetic and a bit mischievous rather than refined.
Designed to deliver high-impact, old-time display lettering with a deliberately worn, imperfect print character. The rounded slabs and consistent interior distress aim to evoke vintage poster typography while keeping forms bold and approachable for modern promotional use.
The distressed pattern is integrated into the glyph interiors (not just rough outer edges), so the texture remains visible even when outlines stay smooth. Numerals and key round letters (O/Q/0/8/9) emphasize the blotchy counter texture, reinforcing the rugged printed character.
