A compact, heavy serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a noticeably inked, worn edge. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast and slightly uneven terminals that create a printed-from-type, letterpress-like texture. Counters are relatively small and tight, especially in the lowercase, and the overall rhythm is dense with short extenders and sturdy verticals. The alphabet shows subtle irregularities from glyph to glyph—particularly in curves and serifs—contributing to an intentionally imperfect, tactile finish.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and label-style packaging where a bold, vintage voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts or display typography that benefits from a distressed, letterpress-like texture, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a vintage, workmanlike tone reminiscent of old posters, packaging, and distressed print. Its inky texture and sturdy shapes feel confident and emphatic, with a touch of nostalgic charm and handmade character rather than polished formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with a deliberately worn, inked impression—capturing the feel of historical printing and adding personality through controlled roughness. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere over pristine, neutral text rendering.
The rough contouring is consistent across letters and numerals, giving large sizes a strong, textured presence. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and heavy weight can make interior spaces close up, so it benefits from generous size or breathing room in layout.
