A serifed, display-oriented face with softened slab-like terminals and visibly roughened edges that suggest worn type or inky, imperfect printing. Strokes are mostly sturdy and fairly even, with mild modulation and small bulges at joins that create a slightly swollen, ink-trap-like feel in places. Counters are open and legible, while curves and diagonals show subtle wobble and irregularity that keeps the texture lively across lines. Overall spacing reads comfortable, with a slightly bouncy rhythm from character to character rather than strict mechanical uniformity.
Well suited for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and identity work that wants an aged or handmade feel. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial or cover contexts, where the roughened edges add atmosphere without sacrificing basic legibility.
The font conveys a tactile, old-time printed character—earthy, approachable, and a bit scrappy. Its distressed texture and softened shapes give it a nostalgic, workshop-made tone rather than a polished corporate voice, leaning toward quirky and storybook-friendly energy.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect print or aged type, pairing classic serif structures with deliberate edge wear and slightly irregular contours. The goal seems to be creating a readable display face that adds analog character and visual noise for themed, narrative, or rustic applications.
The uppercase has a sturdy, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same rough texture and rounded terminals for consistency in longer text. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly blunted serifs and uneven edges, maintaining a cohesive, worn-print look.
