A rough, hand-rendered Latin with uneven stroke edges and irregular contours that mimic dry-brush or worn ink transfer. Forms are broadly monolinear but show natural-looking thick–thin fluctuations from pressure and texture rather than classical modulation. Counters are slightly lumpy and terminals often finish with frayed, broken, or blotted ends, creating a lively silhouette. Proportions are fairly traditional and readable, with steady cap height and a normal x-height, but each glyph carries small, intentional imperfections that keep the rhythm informal.
Works best for headlines, posters, and short passages where a tactile, handcrafted texture is desirable. It’s well suited to packaging, labels, album art, event graphics, and themed editorial callouts where a distressed print feel can add atmosphere while remaining readable.
The overall tone feels gritty and tactile, like printed ephemera, DIY packaging, or stamped signage. Its irregular texture adds a human, imperfect character that reads as vintage, rustic, and slightly rebellious without becoming illegible.
Likely designed to simulate imperfect ink on paper—somewhere between hand lettering and degraded print—delivering a familiar serif-like structure with deliberately weathered edges for immediate character and mood.
In text, the distressed edges remain consistent across sizes, giving paragraphs a softly noisy color. The texture is prominent on straight stems and outer curves, while round letters keep recognizable bowls despite the rough perimeter. Numerals follow the same worn-ink treatment, supporting cohesive display and short-copy use.
