A serifed text face with deliberately roughened contours and uneven stroke edges, as if printed from a worn plate or drawn with a dry, slightly blotting pen. Strokes show subtle bulges, nicks, and broken-looking terminals, with small wedge-like serifs and occasional curled or hooked finishes. The overall construction stays legible and fairly traditional, but each glyph carries a lightly irregular, hand-worked texture that creates a lively rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where texture is an asset—posters, book covers, album art, packaging, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It works especially well when you want a crafted or archival feel without losing straightforward readability.
The font conveys an aged, tactile character—part antique printing, part handmade lettering—giving copy a gritty, storied tone. Its irregularities add personality and a touch of mischief, making it feel informal, rustic, and evocative of old ephemera.
Likely designed to mimic the look of worn letterpress or aged print while keeping classic serif structures intact. The goal appears to be adding authentic surface noise and handmade irregularity to familiar textforms for characterful, themed typography.
Texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive distressed effect rather than random damage. Spacing appears comfortable for short text, though the rough edges visually thicken letters and can reduce clarity at smaller sizes.
