A decorative serif with roughened, ink-worn outlines and subtly irregular stroke edges that mimic aged printing or a dry brush. Forms lean on classical serif construction with flared terminals, wedge-like serifs, and a slightly calligraphic modulation that gives curves a carved, hand-inked feel. Proportions are compact and traditional, with small lowercase bodies and prominent ascenders; spacing and rhythm read steady while individual glyphs retain organic variation. Numerals and capitals carry the same distressed texture, with rounded counters and occasional nicks that soften the silhouette without collapsing letterforms.
Best suited to display typography such as titles, chapter heads, posters, and cover work where the distressed detailing can carry mood. It also fits branding and packaging that want a handcrafted, vintage or fantasy-leaning voice, and can be used for short pulls or quotes when a textured, old-print flavor is desired.
The overall tone is old-world and theatrical, evoking antique book typography, folk ephemera, and vintage signage. Its rough ink texture adds a handcrafted, slightly ominous character that can feel whimsical in one setting and gothic in another.
The font appears designed to fuse a traditional serif skeleton with intentional wear and ink irregularity, creating an illustrative, period-evocative texture while keeping letterforms readable. The goal seems to be a versatile themed display face that feels printed by hand or pulled from aged type.
Texture is consistent across the set, so the distressed effect reads intentional rather than incidental. The design rewards moderate-to-large sizes where the rough edge detail remains visible and the serif shapes stay crisp.
