A heavy, soft-serif display face with rounded terminals and visibly irregular contours that suggest worn type or inky letterpress printing. Strokes are robust with modest thick–thin modulation, and counters stay fairly open despite the weight. The drawing shows deliberate inconsistency in curve smoothness and edge finish, with blunted corners, slight wobble in bowls and stems, and occasional asymmetry that creates a handmade rhythm. Proportions lean compact with a relatively small x-height, while capitals read broad and sturdy; figures and punctuation follow the same roughened, inked silhouette.
Best for short, attention-grabbing text where texture is an asset: headlines, posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for title treatments on book covers or editorial openers that want a vintage, printed feel, especially when paired with simpler body text.
The font conveys a nostalgic, tactile tone—part antique print, part rough-and-ready craft. Its softened serifs and distressed edges feel approachable and slightly mischievous, evoking posters, old packaging, or stamped ephemera rather than pristine editorial typography.
The design appears intended to emulate the character of aged or imperfect printing—keeping classic serif structures while adding organic edge wear and uneven stroke behavior for a tactile, themed display look.
Spacing and widths feel uneven in a natural way, enhancing the impression of imperfect printing. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, and the overall color on the page is dark and emphatic, making it better suited to display sizes than long passages.
