A heavy, compact serif with blunt, bracket-like serifs and a strongly printed, inky silhouette. Letterforms are tight and fairly narrow, with sturdy verticals and modest stroke modulation that reads more like pressure and printing gain than a calligraphic model. Edges are deliberately irregular and slightly chipped, creating a distressed perimeter and occasional notches in curves and joins. Counters are relatively small and rounded, and the overall texture is dense and high-impact, especially in capitals and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where texture is part of the message—headlines, posters, title cards, packaging labels, and branded signage. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but it will be most effective when used to create a bold, tactile focal point rather than extended body copy.
The font conveys a worn, old-world toughness—like ink pressed into rough paper, a stamped mark, or a weathered sign. Its texture and sturdy serifs suggest heritage and grit, balancing nostalgia with a slightly ominous, outlaw-leaning attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, traditional serif foundation while adding a controlled distressed finish to mimic wear, rough printing, or stamped ink. It aims to provide immediate visual flavor—heritage, grit, and impact—without departing from familiar serif proportions.
In the sample text, the distressed contour remains consistent across sizes, producing a lively surface texture that becomes more pronounced in longer passages. The small counters and rough edges make it feel intentionally imperfect, prioritizing character and atmosphere over pristine clarity at small text sizes.
