A heavy, compact display face with blocky serifed letterforms and visibly roughened outlines. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, while terminals and corners show irregular nicks and uneven edges that mimic worn printing or distressed inking. The serifs are short and blunt, with slight flare and taper that gives the shapes a carved, poster-like solidity. Counters are tight and simplified, and the overall rhythm is dense, creating strong texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display applications where texture and impact are desirable, such as posters, bold headlines, storefront-style signage, packaging labels, and compact logotypes. It performs especially well in short phrases where the distressed edges can contribute atmosphere without overwhelming readability.
The distressed detailing and chunky proportions convey a rugged, old-time tone that feels lively and unpolished. It reads as handmade and earthy, suggesting utilitarian signage, stamped graphics, and bold vernacular typography rather than refined editorial type.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, attention-getting slab-serif voice with a deliberately weathered finish, combining sturdy letter construction with printed-wear artifacts for themed, character-driven typography.
In the sample text, the rough contouring becomes more apparent at larger sizes, adding character without breaking the silhouette. The figures and capitals maintain the same stout, slab-like presence, making the face visually consistent across mixed-case settings.
