A heavy, slab-serif letterform with a compact, typewriter-like structure and strongly bracketed serifs. Stroke edges are irregular and softened, with ragged contours and occasional ink-bleed shapes that create a visibly printed, worn texture. Counters tend to be small and slightly uneven, and the overall rhythm shows mild width variation and lumpy silhouettes that feel intentionally imperfect rather than mechanical.
Best suited for display roles where the textured finish can do visual work: posters, headlines, title treatments, packaging, and branding that wants an aged or industrial print feel. It can also add character to short pull quotes or labels, but extended text will look heavy and visually busy due to the dark color and roughened details.
The texture reads as aged printing—grimy, analog, and a little ominous—evoking old documents, poster type, and stamped or letterpressed ephemera. Its assertive weight and distressed finish give it a tough, cinematic tone that can feel rustic or noir depending on setting and color.
Designed to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with the patina of worn ink and imperfect production, capturing the look of old typewriter or letterpress output while remaining bold and attention-grabbing.
In the sample text, the distressed edges become more prominent at display sizes, while the dense interior spaces can make long passages feel darker and more compact. The numerals and capitals carry the strongest poster presence, with the rough finish staying consistent across the set.
