A rough, distressed serif with uneven, eroded contours and blotchy stroke edges that mimic worn ink or degraded printing. Letterforms keep a largely upright, bookish skeleton, but the outlines fluctuate with nicks, bites, and broken terminals that create a lively, dirty texture. Proportions are fairly compact with sturdy stems, rounded counters that often appear partially filled or ragged, and a slightly irregular rhythm from glyph to glyph while remaining broadly consistent across the set.
Best used where texture and attitude are desirable: display typography for posters, titles, and cover work, or short bursts of text in entertainment branding. It can work for theming in game interfaces or chapter headers, while longer passages benefit from larger sizes and generous spacing to keep the distressed edges from clumping.
The overall tone is gritty and ominous, blending an old-world, storybook serif feel with a harsh, distressed surface. It reads as rugged and confrontational, suited to dark, dramatic themes and handmade or printed ephemera aesthetics.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif foundation with aggressive surface damage, evoking aged print, torn paper, or ink-spread artifacts. The goal appears to be immediate atmosphere—dark, rough, and handmade—without abandoning familiar letterform structure.
The distressed treatment is strong enough to become a primary visual feature, adding substantial texture in paragraphs and making edges shimmer at smaller sizes. Capitals are punchy and monolithic, while lowercase maintains recognizable serif structures despite the heavy wear pattern.
