A heavy slab-serif design with compact, blocky proportions and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick stems and noticeably thinner interior joins and curves, giving the letters a punchy, poster-like rhythm. The outlines carry a consistent distressed treatment: small chips, speckling, and irregular interior voids that mimic worn ink or rough printing, while the overall geometry stays stable and upright. Rounds like O/Q and bowls in B/P/R are slightly squarish, and terminals tend toward softened, bulb-like corners rather than sharp cuts.
Best suited for display settings where texture is desirable: posters, bar/restaurant branding, rustic packaging, labels, event flyers, and bold signage. It can also work for short editorial headers or pull quotes, but the distressed details and dense weight make it less appropriate for long-form body copy at smaller sizes.
The texture and sturdy slabs evoke a vintage, workwear tone—somewhere between old-west display printing and battered letterpress ephemera. It feels assertive and earthy, with a friendly roughness that reads as handcrafted and timeworn rather than chaotic.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif silhouette with the added character of worn printing, providing immediate personality and period flavor while preserving strong letter shapes for impactful headlines.
In text, the distressing remains visible at large sizes and is distributed across most glyphs, creating a cohesive “printed-through-use” effect. Numerals match the weight and serif treatment, and the lowercase keeps the same stout presence, helping mixed-case settings feel unified.
