A rugged, text-forward serif with chunky proportions and visibly distressed edges. Strokes are heavy and compact with subtly irregular widths, as if printed from worn type or inked by hand. Serifs are small and blunt, counters are slightly roughened, and curves show a textured, imperfect outline that repeats consistently across the alphabet. Spacing and sidebearings feel a touch uneven, contributing to an organic rhythm while keeping letterforms broadly stable and legible.
Best suited for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, packaging, product labels, book covers, and themed titles. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the rough edge detail is most effective when given enough scale to show the texture clearly.
The overall tone is handmade and timeworn, evoking craft, ephemera, and imperfect printing. Its texture adds grit and personality, producing a friendly, slightly quirky feel rather than a polished editorial voice.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, analog reproduction—like worn letterpress, stamped type, or dry-brush ink—while maintaining straightforward, readable skeletons. Its aim is to add instant atmosphere and tactility to otherwise simple typography.
The distressed treatment appears both on outer contours and within bowls, creating a dry-ink, worn-impression effect. Uppercase forms read assertive and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps a squat, sturdy presence that favors character over refinement. Numerals match the same roughened imprint and maintain clear silhouettes.
