A heavy, monolinear slab-serif design with broad proportions and squared, blunted terminals. The letterforms have a stamped, slightly uneven feel created by irregular interior cut-ins and notches that read like worn ink or rough impression, while the outer silhouettes remain largely solid and stable. Counters are simple and open, with occasional vertical “pill” voids and small bite-like intrusions that add texture without collapsing legibility. Numerals and capitals carry the same chunky, poster-like mass, producing an even, grid-friendly rhythm across lines.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and labels where its textured character can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, menus, chapter titles) when a deliberately rough, stamped look is desired.
The texture and chunky slabs evoke a vintage, rough-printed tone—part old poster, part typewriter/stamp—giving text a handmade, slightly mischievous personality. It feels nostalgic and casual rather than refined, with enough grit to suggest wear, craft, or frontier ephemera.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing slab-serif voice with built-in wear—capturing the feel of imperfect printing or a repeatedly used stamp while preserving consistent spacing and strong, readable shapes.
The distressed details are consistent across the set, functioning more as controlled internal erosion than random grunge. Curves (C, G, O) stay rounded and sturdy, while verticals and slabs remain emphatic, helping the face keep a strong silhouette in short text.
