A roughened serif with an inked, hand-hewn surface and uneven stroke edges that suggest worn printing or dry-brush lettering. The letterforms are largely classical in structure, but their contours wobble slightly and terminals vary, creating a lively rhythm. Counters are open and readable, with modest contrast and sturdy stems; serifs appear wedge-like and irregular, often tapering as if pulled by a brush. Lowercase proportions feel compact with relatively short ascenders and a small x-height, while caps sit firmly with varied internal widths across the set.
Well-suited for display and short-to-medium passages where a tactile, vintage-leaning texture is desirable—such as book covers, chapter titles, editorial pull quotes, posters, and artisanal packaging. It can also work for branding in contexts that benefit from an approachable, crafted feel.
The texture and irregularity give the face a rustic, handmade tone—somewhere between old book type and hand-inked signage. It reads as warm and personable rather than polished, with a gently quirky, story-driven character.
The design appears intended to merge familiar serif proportions with a deliberately weathered, ink-on-paper texture, producing a readable face that still feels handmade and expressive. Its irregular edges and slightly varied forms prioritize atmosphere and character over clinical precision.
Numerals share the same distressed edge treatment and slightly uneven stroke weight, helping maintain consistency in mixed text. The overall spacing in the sample feels comfortable and the texture remains visible at text sizes, so the distressed effect is a prominent part of the voice rather than a subtle detail.
