A compact serif design with sturdy stems and modest stroke modulation, rendered with deliberately irregular, roughened edges. The letterforms keep largely traditional proportions, but the outlines wobble subtly, with blunted terminals, soft corners, and occasional nicks that suggest uneven inking or worn printing. Serifs are short and blocky, and curves show slight asymmetry that adds a handmade rhythm. Lowercase forms are readable and conventional, while overall spacing feels a touch loose and lively, reinforcing the distressed texture without collapsing legibility.
Works well for posters, book covers, album art, and packaging where a vintage or handcrafted texture is desired. It can also support editorial pull quotes or short paragraphs when you want readable text with visible grit, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed details can be appreciated.
The font conveys a tactile, analog tone—part old print ephemera, part handcrafted signage. Its rough texture and softened silhouettes create a warm, imperfect voice that feels human and timeworn rather than polished or corporate.
Likely intended to combine classic serif structure with an intentionally worn, tactile surface, mimicking rough letterpress or aged ink on paper. The goal appears to be adding atmosphere and authenticity while keeping familiar shapes for dependable readability.
Capitals have a sturdy, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains an approachable text color in the sample paragraph. The distressed treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, giving headings and short passages a cohesive, printed-by-hand character.
