A serifed text face with sturdy, compact proportions and visibly irregular contours. Strokes show ink spread and rough, broken edges, creating a printed, worn texture rather than clean vector outlines. Serifs are bracketed and chunky, terminals are slightly blunted, and counters remain mostly open despite the distressed perimeter. Spacing reads fairly even in text, but individual letters vary subtly in width and silhouette, reinforcing an analog, imperfect rhythm.
Well-suited for posters, cover design, packaging, and headlines where a distressed, printed texture is desirable. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when you want a vintage, analog feel, though the rough edges will be most noticeable and expressive at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike, with a tactile, ink-on-paper character that suggests age, reuse, and imperfect reproduction. It conveys a gritty, editorial mood—more archival and human than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic aged letterpress or worn typewriter/printed output, prioritizing tactile texture and imperfect ink gain over crisp geometry. It aims to add character and atmosphere to otherwise traditional serif letterforms.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and authoritative, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable structure that tolerates the rough texture at paragraph sizes. Numerals follow the same worn print effect, with softened corners and slight blotting that becomes more pronounced at larger display sizes.
