A serif typeface with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and subtly bracketed serifs. The outlines show purposeful roughening—softened corners, uneven edges, and occasional nicks that mimic worn printing or ink spread. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, while character widths vary slightly, giving the line a natural, non-mechanical rhythm. Counters remain open and readable, and curves are gently rounded rather than razor-sharp, reinforcing the printed, tactile feel.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and branding that benefits from an aged or tactile print impression. It also fits packaging, labels, and book covers where a rustic, archival, or handcrafted voice is desired, and remains readable in short paragraphs at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike, like type pulled from an old poster, label, or stamped packaging. Its controlled distress adds grit without turning chaotic, lending a friendly, handmade authenticity rather than an aggressive, noisy texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with an integrated worn-print texture, balancing familiarity and legibility with a distinctly imperfect, analog surface.
The distress is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with heavier wear showing at terminals and along verticals. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the text color and texture, and the sample text demonstrates strong legibility at display and medium text sizes where the roughness reads as character.
