A robust slab-serif design with broad proportions, sturdy stems, and compact, blunt terminals. The letterforms show a distinctly roughened texture: edges are slightly broken, counters and bowls carry patchy “inked” mottling, and some strokes look uneven as if printed from a worn plate. Serifs are blocky and generally bracketed or softly chamfered, with a steady, readable rhythm across caps and lowercase. Figures are bold and simple, matching the heavy, poster-like color of the alphabet.
Best suited to display contexts where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, product packaging, and cover titling. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels where a vintage, rugged tone is desired, but the texture may become busy at very small sizes.
The texture and sturdy slabs give the face a weathered, analog personality—suggesting old posters, stamped goods, and imperfect letterpress impressions. It feels assertive and nostalgic, with a frontier/heritage undertone that reads as practical rather than refined.
The design appears intended to combine a classic slab-serif framework with intentionally worn, ink-printed imperfections to evoke heritage printing and rough, utilitarian ephemera.
The distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional, but varied enough to keep repeated letters from looking sterile. In longer text, the mottled interiors add character while the strong silhouettes maintain clarity, especially at display sizes.
