A heavy slab-serif design with sturdy, compact proportions and a pronounced, print-like texture. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with bracketed-looking slab terminals and broad, squared shoulders that keep the silhouettes blocky and stable. The outlines are intentionally roughened with irregular edge chipping and occasional interior speckling, creating the feel of ink spread and worn impression. Spacing is moderately open for a display face, while letterforms remain clear and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to posters, headlines, product packaging, and signage where a rugged, printed texture can be read at a glance. It can also work for logo wordmarks and short brand phrases that want a handcrafted, industrial or Western-leaning tone, especially when set large on light backgrounds.
The font reads as tough, tactile, and nostalgic—evoking hand-printed headlines, workshop labels, and old posters. Its distressed surface adds grit and authenticity, giving text a lived-in, analog character that feels assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to mimic bold slab-serif display type that has been physically printed and worn over time, combining sturdy letter shapes with deliberate surface breakup to suggest age, ink, and material texture.
The distressing is applied consistently enough to preserve legibility, but it remains prominent at larger sizes, where the texture becomes a key part of the voice. The numerals share the same weight and wear pattern, helping mixed text (prices, dates, signage) feel unified.
