A heavy slab-serif display with broad proportions, rounded corners, and blunt terminals. The letterforms have a stamped, inked look created by irregular interior speckling and slightly uneven edges, giving solid shapes a worn texture without collapsing counters. Strokes stay generally consistent, with sturdy serifs and simplified geometry that keeps the alphabet cohesive at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product labels, and branding moments that want a rugged or nostalgic edge. It can also work for signage and merchandise where the distressed texture adds character, especially when set large enough for the speckling to read clearly.
The overall tone is bold and boisterous, with a vintage, workwear feel and a playful roughness. The distressed texture suggests age, grit, and analog printing, lending an informal, attention-grabbing personality that feels more handcrafted than polished.
Likely designed to evoke a bold, vintage slab-serif voice with an intentionally worn, printed-in-ink texture. The goal appears to be strong readability at display sizes while adding instant atmosphere through consistent distress and rounded, friendly massing.
Texture is distributed throughout the black areas rather than only at the outline, so the “wear” reads as mottled ink coverage. Numerals and capitals appear especially blocky and sign-like, with wide stance and compact internal spaces that emphasize impact over delicacy.
