A heavy, slab-serif letterform with visibly roughened contours and uneven, ink-worn interiors. Strokes are sturdy with blunt terminals, and the serifs read as squared and robust, but their edges are broken and irregular, producing a stamped/printed texture. Counters are slightly pinched and inconsistent, contributing to a mottled, inked-in feel, while overall proportions stay fairly traditional and readable. Spacing appears moderately open, and the set maintains a steady baseline with small, organic variations that reinforce the distressed finish.
Well-suited to display roles such as posters, covers, headlines, and labels where a weathered, analog print character is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of text in themed layouts—such as signage-style callouts or packaging copy—when legibility is not pushed to very small sizes.
The font conveys a rugged, timeworn tone—evoking aged printing, worn signage, and utilitarian documents. Its texture and blunt slabs add a gritty confidence that feels tactile and handmade rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif structure with an intentionally worn, irregular print texture, creating a font that reads clearly while delivering a strong distressed personality.
The distressing is integrated into both outer strokes and inner counters, so the texture remains present even at larger sizes. At smaller sizes the broken edges and speckling can visually fill in, so the face tends to feel strongest when the texture has room to show.
