A heavy, serifed display face with uneven, ink-worn contours and occasional interior scuffs that mimic rough printing or carved letterforms. Strokes stay generally upright with modest contrast, but edges wander and terminals flare irregularly, creating a lively, imperfect silhouette. Proportions are somewhat condensed in places with variable glyph widths, and counters often look pinched or slightly lopsided, reinforcing the hand-made rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, book covers, event titles, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short thematic blurbs or pull quotes, but the rough edges and compact lowercase make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a rustic, storybook tone—part vintage poster, part folk craft—thanks to its textured finish and jaunty, irregular details. It reads as playful and a little spooky or theatrical rather than formal, with an old-world charm that feels printed by hand or pulled from an aged block.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, vintage-flavored voice with deliberate wear and irregularity, evoking hand-printed ephemera and craft-era signage. Its consistent texture and sturdy serifs aim to create strong, characterful headlines with a tactile, imperfect finish.
Capitals are bold and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps a compact, slightly squat feel that increases the sense of density in text. Numerals follow the same roughened logic, with soft, uneven curves and sturdy weight, helping headlines feel cohesive when mixing letters and figures.
