A serifed display face with intentionally rough, irregular contours that mimic worn printing or heavy ink spread. Strokes maintain a steady overall weight but show ragged edges, soft corners, and subtle wobble in stems and bowls, creating a handmade, imperfect rhythm. Serifs are short and blocky with chipped-looking terminals, and counters often feel slightly constricted by the distressed texture. Spacing and glyph widths vary, reinforcing an uneven, analog texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
Well suited for posters, cover titles, and branding that benefits from an aged or gritty voice—especially for horror, mystery, western, or vintage-themed projects. It works best in headlines, logotypes, and short passages where the rough texture can be appreciated without compromising readability.
The overall tone is gritty and atmospheric, evoking aged paper, inked type, and old-world ephemera. Its distressed surface reads as ominous and dramatic, leaning toward horror, mystery, and pulp storytelling rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to recreate the feel of distressed letterpress or worn metal type, delivering a strong vintage atmosphere with deliberately imperfect edges. Its consistent serif structure provides a classic backbone, while the weathered surface supplies the thematic punch for dramatic display use.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture feels systemic rather than accidental. In longer text samples the roughness adds strong character but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in low-contrast settings, making it best treated as a headline or short-copy voice.
