A distressed serif with sharply tapered strokes and noticeably rough, uneven edges, as if pulled from worn letterpress type or dry-brush ink. Letterforms keep a mostly upright, traditional skeleton, but the contours wobble slightly and counters show irregular bite marks and speckled erosion. Serifs are wedge-like and sometimes softened or broken, creating a lively rhythm with subtle per-glyph variation and occasional asymmetry. Numerals and capitals feel bold and display-oriented, while lowercase maintains readable proportions but with the same broken-ink texture throughout.
Best suited to display applications where the distressed detail can be appreciated—posters, branding lockups, product labels, packaging, and book or album covers. It also works for short editorial callouts or pull quotes when a vintage, printed texture is desired, but is less ideal for long-form small-size body text due to the heavy edge noise.
The overall tone is old-world and handmade, with a tactile, imperfect charm that suggests age, friction, and physical printing. The rough texture adds grit and personality, balancing a classic serif foundation with a more playful, lived-in attitude.
The design appears intended to evoke the look of aged printing or hand-inked type, combining a familiar serif structure with deliberate wear and irregularity to add atmosphere and authenticity.
Texture is the dominant feature: interior nicks, uneven terminals, and inconsistent stroke edges create strong character at larger sizes, while fine detail may visually fill in at small sizes. Spacing appears fairly open and the silhouettes remain clear despite the distressing, helping the font stay legible in short passages and headlines.
