A bold, upright serif with compact proportions and a sturdy, print-like build. Letterforms use bracketed serifs and fairly round bowls, with a slightly condensed rhythm in many capitals and a readable, traditional skeleton in the lowercase. A consistent speckled, chipped texture is cut through the black strokes, creating irregular interior voids while keeping the outer contours mostly intact. Numerals and capitals carry the same distressed pattern, producing an even “worn ink” look across the set.
Works best for short-form display text such as posters, product packaging, labels, menus, and branding marks that benefit from a worn, tactile finish. It also suits signage-style compositions and editorial headlines where a vintage, rough-printed impression is desired.
The overall tone feels rugged and timeworn, like stamped signage or letterpress type that has seen heavy use. The texture adds grit and tactility, giving a vintage-industrial mood that reads as authentic, handmade, and a little rebellious.
This design appears intended to combine a traditional serif foundation with a deliberately aged surface, simulating ink wear, rough printing, or distressed stamping. The goal is to deliver an instantly “lived-in” texture without sacrificing the familiar readability of classic serif forms.
The distressing is distributed broadly across each glyph rather than localized to edges, so the texture remains visible even at moderate sizes. The type has enough classic structure to stay legible, but the speckling can visually thicken or break up counters in dense settings.
