A sturdy serif design with compact, broadly proportioned letterforms and clear, traditional skeletons. The strokes stay fairly even in weight, while the serif terminals and outer contours show deliberate roughening—like ink drag, worn type, or lightly abraded printing plates. Curves are smooth and controlled underneath the texture, keeping counters open and shapes legible, and spacing reads balanced rather than condensed or expanded.
Works well for headlines and short-to-medium text where a vintage or rugged print texture is desired—posters, book or magazine titles, product packaging, labels, and branded graphics. It can also suit editorial pull quotes and signage when you want a traditional serif voice with added grit.
The overall tone feels weathered and workmanlike, evoking printed ephemera, stamped labels, and utilitarian signage. The distressed edges add grit and history without pushing into chaos, giving the face a grounded, tactile character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience while adding a consistent distressed overlay to simulate worn printing or aged material. It aims to balance familiar proportions and legibility with a tactile, imperfect surface for mood and authenticity.
Distress is distributed consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with small chips and frays most noticeable at serifs and stroke ends. The italic is not present in the samples shown; the presented style reads as a straightforward roman with a print-worn finish.
