A compact, sturdy serif with blunt, wedge-like terminals and noticeably roughened outlines. Strokes are fairly even but show irregular thickness and slight ink-spread artifacts, giving each letter a worn, printed texture. Counters are open and simple, while joins and corners appear softened and nicked, producing a subtly uneven rhythm across lines. Uppercase forms feel blocky and stable, and the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with a modest, workmanlike presence.
Well suited to posters, headlines, album or event graphics, and branding that benefits from a handmade or worn-in feel. It can also work on packaging, labels, and badges where a tactile, stamped look helps convey authenticity and grit. For longer text, it’s best used at larger sizes where the rough edges stay crisp and intentional.
The overall tone is gritty and analog, evoking imperfect impressions, weathered signage, or aged packaging. It reads as casual and human rather than polished, with a tactile, slightly rebellious character that adds attitude without becoming chaotic.
Designed to combine a traditional serif skeleton with a deliberately imperfect, distressed finish. The intent appears to be an approachable, vintage-leaning display face that adds texture and character while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
The distressed treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, with small breaks and rough contours that remain legible at display sizes. The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, so it will read most clearly when given adequate size and contrast.
