A compact slab-serif with sturdy, slightly condensed proportions and blunt terminals. Strokes show uneven inking and roughened edges, with small chips and speckling that create a printed, worn surface while keeping counters open and recognizable. Serifs are bracketed and squat, and the overall rhythm is steady, though individual glyphs show subtle irregularities that mimic imperfect impression or aged type.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, product labels, packaging, signage, and editorial headlines where a vintage or rough-printed tone is desired. It can work in short text blocks at larger sizes, but the surface wear is most legible when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The texture and sturdy slabs evoke an old-time, frontier or workshop feel—practical, a bit gritty, and nostalgic. It reads as archival and analog rather than sleek, adding a sense of authenticity and patina to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional slab-serif structure with a deliberately imperfect, aged print texture. It aims to deliver the authority and clarity of a classic serif while adding character through consistent distress and inking artifacts.
The distressed pattern is present across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving consistent character without collapsing thin joins. Numerals are bold and similarly weathered, and the overall spacing feels suited to display settings where the texture can be appreciated.
