A heavy slab-serif design with compact proportions, blocky terminals, and largely squared curves. The outlines show deliberate wear and printing artifacts: chipped corners, rough shoulders, and small voids that read like ink breakup or distressed stamping. Stroke endings are blunt and confident, counters stay fairly open despite the weight, and spacing feels sturdy with a slightly irregular texture that becomes more pronounced in longer lines.
Best suited for display work where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, label and packaging design, badges, signage, and brand marks that want a stamped or letterpress feel. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when set large enough to keep the distressed details from filling in.
The font projects a tough, workmanlike character with a vintage, print-shop attitude. Its distressed surface suggests age, grit, and physical production—evoking posters, stamps, and worn packaging rather than clean digital typesetting. Overall it feels bold, assertive, and slightly ominous in a classic, old-time way.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of worn slab-serif wood type or imperfect press printing, pairing bold legibility with a controlled, grungy texture. Its goal is to add instant heritage and grit to contemporary layouts while remaining readable and rhythmically consistent across letters and numerals.
Distress is applied consistently across the set, creating a cohesive speckled/eroded rhythm without obscuring letter identity. Numerals and capitals carry a strong wood-type presence, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky build for unified color in text. The texture is visually active, so it benefits from generous sizes and straightforward backgrounds.
