A hand-drawn, serif-leaning text face with irregular, brush-like strokes and visibly torn edges. Letterforms keep mostly traditional proportions and a readable skeleton, but outlines wobble and vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Stroke endings often flare or taper with ink-bleed-like raggedness, counters are slightly misshapen, and joins can look blotted or dry-brushed. Spacing and widths feel loosely set, reinforcing an organic, made-by-hand texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Works well for display and short-to-medium text where texture is an asset: book covers, posters, event graphics, artisanal packaging, and brand marks seeking a handmade or vintage note. It can also serve pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when a human, weathered voice is desired.
The font conveys a rustic, artisanal tone—equal parts vintage printing and hand-lettered charm. Its roughness suggests age, wear, or imperfect reproduction, giving text a tactile, crafted presence. The overall feel is quirky and characterful rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the look of hand-inked lettering or worn print—prioritizing tactile texture and personality while preserving familiar, readable letter structures. The intent appears to be adding atmosphere and narrative character to typography rather than achieving sterile consistency.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, inscription-like shapes with softened serifs, while the lowercase maintains a casual, handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same textured logic, with slightly inconsistent curves and terminals that enhance the distressed effect. In longer text, the irregular edges create a grainy color that benefits from comfortable sizes and generous leading.
