A textured serif with slightly irregular outlines and ink-worn edges that create a printed, weathered look. Strokes are mostly even but show subtle wobble and abrasion, with softened corners and occasional nicks that vary from glyph to glyph. Proportions are traditional and readable, with compact serifs and open counters; the overall rhythm feels steady despite the distressed surface. Numerals and caps maintain a consistent baseline and weight while retaining the same roughened perimeter.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and cover typography where a worn, tactile finish is desirable. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that aim for an artisanal or heritage feel. For identity systems, it fits brands that want an analog, handcrafted presence while maintaining conventional serif readability.
The font conveys a tactile, lived-in tone—like letterpress or rubber-stamp impressions that have seen use. Its imperfections read as human and analog, adding warmth and grit while staying legible. The overall mood leans vintage and utilitarian rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to combine familiar serif letterforms with an intentionally weathered surface, emulating imperfect printing or aged ink. The goal appears to be adding character and authenticity through texture while preserving clear proportions for practical typesetting.
Distressing appears concentrated along outer contours and terminals rather than through dramatic deformation of structure, so the underlying serif forms remain clear in text. In longer passages, the texture adds character without heavily interrupting word shapes, though the rough edges become more prominent at larger sizes.
