A heavy, high-contrast serif with sturdy, compact letterforms and pronounced wedge-like terminals. The outlines remain generally clean and upright, but the strokes are interrupted by irregular interior wear—small chips, scratches, and ink-breaks that read like distressed printing rather than loose handwriting. Counters are mostly generous and round, helping the dense weight stay legible, while the texture varies per glyph to create an intentionally uneven, timeworn rhythm. Numerals match the bold, carved feel, with clear shapes and consistent texture.
This font is best suited to display work where its texture can read clearly: posters, punchy headlines, album or event graphics, brand marks, and packaging with a rugged or heritage angle. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels, especially when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy.
The overall tone is gritty and aged, like signage or headlines pulled from a worn poster or a well-used stamp. The distressed details add tension and drama, giving the face a tough, slightly ominous presence without becoming chaotic or illegible.
The design appears intended to combine a classic, assertive serif structure with controlled distressing to simulate worn ink or eroded print surfaces. It aims to deliver strong readability at larger sizes while injecting grit and character through inconsistent internal breaks and scuffs.
The distressing is concentrated inside strokes and counters, so the outer silhouette stays strong at display sizes. Texture density is not perfectly uniform across characters, which can enhance authenticity in short settings but may look busier in long passages or tight tracking.
