A serifed, print-like face with uneven, distressed contours and a slightly blotty stroke texture, as if ink has spread on coarse paper. Letterforms keep mostly classic proportions and clear counters, but edges are consistently roughened with small bites, lumps, and irregular terminals that vary from glyph to glyph. Strokes show modest contrast and a firm, upright stance; curves are slightly bumpy and straight stems have subtle waviness, creating a lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and legible, while lowercase retains a traditional, bookish structure with a naturally irregular finish.
Works well for short-to-medium copy where a tactile, worn impression is desired—posters, labels, packaging, and headline treatments. It can also support display-sized quotations or cover typography where texture adds atmosphere, while longer passages will feel intentionally rough and visually busy.
The overall tone feels gritty and tactile, evoking worn print, aged posters, or stamped lettering. It reads as handmade and imperfect in an intentional way—earthy, utilitarian, and a bit rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading skeleton with an added layer of print wear and analog texture, giving otherwise familiar forms a rugged, handcrafted character.
Texture remains coherent across the character set, with distress concentrated on outer edges rather than breaking interiors, helping readability. Spacing appears fairly even in the text sample, but the irregular outlines create a dark, noisy color that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
