A roughened serif with an organic, hand-inked texture throughout. Strokes show dry-brush breakup and subtly uneven terminals, producing irregular edges that feel printed or stamped rather than crisply drawn. Serifs are small and blunt, counters stay relatively open, and curves (notably in rounds like O/C/G) have a slightly lopsided, hand-formed rhythm. Overall proportions lean traditional, but the texture and mild wobble give the alphabet a lively, imperfect consistency suitable for display settings.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and book covers where a tactile, vintage-leaning voice is desired. It works best in short to medium display copy, pull quotes, and branding accents where the distressed texture can remain visible.
The font conveys a rustic, handmade tone—more craft-market and old-print than polished editorial. Its distressed edges suggest age, wear, or analog reproduction, giving text a warm, tactile presence with a hint of folk character.
Likely designed to emulate hand-printed or brush-inked letterforms with a controlled, repeatable distress pattern, combining classic serif structure with an intentionally worn surface for character and authenticity.
At larger sizes the texture reads as intentional grain and adds personality; at smaller sizes the breakup can visually darken joins and reduce clarity in tight settings. Numerals match the same roughened construction, with simple, readable forms and the same uneven ink density.
