A heavy, compact text face with pronounced stroke contrast and a visibly textured, slightly ragged edge that reads like worn ink or rough printing. Shapes are largely rounded and simplified, with blunt terminals and shallow, wedge-like notches that create a subtly irregular silhouette. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, and curves (O, C, G) keep a soft, circular feel while remaining sturdy. Spacing is moderate and the overall rhythm is steady, with small variations in stroke edge and letter widths adding a natural, imperfect cadence in running text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a strong, tactile presence is desired: headlines, pull quotes, posters, labels, and packaging. It can also work for book covers or editorial titling where the textured finish adds atmosphere, especially in larger sizes.
The font conveys a vintage, printed-in-ink character—warm, slightly rough, and utilitarian rather than polished. Its texture and confident weight suggest old paper, posters, and traditional editorial settings with a touch of handmade grit.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable sans voice while evoking the look of aged print or hand-applied ink. It prioritizes impact and character through textured edges and strong contrast, while keeping letterforms simple enough for comfortable reading in display and titling.
Uppercase forms feel blocky and authoritative, while lowercase maintains a friendly, readable texture. Numerals are similarly stout and clear, matching the distressed edge quality so mixed text stays cohesive.
