A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and compact, blocky letterforms. Strokes are thick with subtle contrast and blunt terminals, while slab serifs read as short, sturdy feet with softened corners. The contours show intentional roughness—slight nicks, uneven edges, and inky buildup—creating a worn printed impression. Spacing appears generous and the overall rhythm is steady, helping the dense shapes remain legible in short lines and headlines.
Well-suited for posters, title treatments, and short, impactful headlines where texture can carry character. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that want a vintage or rustic printed look. For longer passages, it works best as an accent style rather than body text due to its dense weight and textured edges.
The font conveys a nostalgic, hands-on tone—part old-time signage and part rough-stamped print. Its imperfect edges add warmth and grit, suggesting handmade production and a lightly weathered surface. The overall feel is bold and friendly rather than severe, with a theatrical, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to evoke classic slab-serif display typography with a deliberately worn, inked finish. It aims for strong silhouette readability while adding personality through softened serifs and irregular outlines reminiscent of letterpress, rubber stamps, or aged signage.
Numerals match the same chunky construction and softened slab treatment, keeping the set consistent. In text settings, the heavy color and textured perimeter dominate, so it reads best when given breathing room and printed at sizes large enough for the distress details to register.
