A decorative serif display face with a deliberately roughened, ink-worn finish. Strokes show sharp contrast and a lively, uneven rhythm, with chipped edges and small interior voids that mimic distressed printing. The serifs are wedge-like and occasionally flared, and many joins feel slightly irregular, giving letters a hand-inked, imperfect bite. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and spacing feels intentionally idiosyncratic, reinforcing a handmade, aged-poster look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event promotions, cover titles, labels, and themed packaging. It performs especially well for seasonal or narrative-driven design—horror-comedy, fantasy, circus/carnival, or vintage novelty—where the rough print character can carry the concept.
The overall tone is playful-macabre: part old showbill, part storybook horror. Its distressed texture and quirky silhouettes suggest occult ephemera, Halloween graphics, and vintage novelty advertising rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to evoke an antique, slightly eerie display style through high-contrast forms combined with purposeful wear and irregular ink texture, creating a theatrical headline font with a handcrafted, distressed presence.
The face relies on texture and silhouette for personality; the distressed counters and nicks become more prominent as sizes increase. In longer passages the irregular details can visually accumulate, so it reads best when given room and contrast against clean backgrounds.
