A heavy slab-serif display face with compact proportions and rounded, softly bracketed terminals. The letterforms have a printed, worn texture: edges are irregular and slightly chipped, with scattered interior speckling that reads like ink breakup. Curves are broad and full (notably in O/C/G), while stems stay consistently thick, producing sturdy silhouettes and strong word shapes. Spacing appears generous for a slab, helping counters stay open despite the weight and texture.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, event titles, storefront-style signage, badges, and brand marks where a rugged, tactile feel is desired. It also works well on packaging and labels that benefit from a vintage print or stamped aesthetic, especially at larger sizes where the distressing can be appreciated without harming readability.
The overall tone feels old-timey and hands-on, like stamped packaging or a well-used poster type. Its softened slabs and distressed finish give it a friendly roughness—more playful and approachable than severe—while still projecting confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold slab-serif voice with a deliberately weathered print character—combining classic, poster-like construction with ink-break texture to suggest age, craft, and physical production.
The texture is consistent enough to feel intentional rather than accidental, and it remains legible at headline sizes where the speckling becomes a defining character. The numeral set is equally weighty and rounded, matching the letterforms for cohesive display use.
