A rough-edged, hand-rendered roman with slim strokes and subtly uneven curves that create a dry-ink, printed-by-hand texture. Letterforms are generally upright with simple, open counters and gently inconsistent stroke terminals, producing a lively, imperfect outline. Proportions are compact and somewhat narrow, with a modest x-height and slightly irregular widths that make spacing feel intentionally non-uniform. Numerals and capitals follow the same scratchy, inked-in character, with occasional nicks and swelling that suggest worn edges or distressed reproduction.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy such as posters, cover titles, headings, and themed branding where a handmade or worn-printed look is desired. It can also suit packaging or labels that benefit from an artisanal, rustic texture, especially when paired with simple layouts that give the letterforms room to breathe.
The font reads as informal and human, with a rustic, slightly weathered tone. Its uneven rhythm and textured edges give it a crafty, vintage-leaning personality that feels approachable rather than polished. Overall, it conveys a playful, storybook-like mood with a hint of old-paper grit.
Likely designed to capture the look of hand-inked lettering reproduced through imperfect printing or aging, preserving small inconsistencies to avoid a sterile digital finish. The goal appears to be a legible roman with added texture and personality for thematic, character-driven typography.
In text, the distressed contours remain visible and consistent, adding character without fully collapsing legibility. The irregular stroke behavior makes it feel best suited to display sizes where the texture can be appreciated, while long passages may appear busy due to the constant edge variation.
