A serif display face with sturdy, slightly expanded proportions and a lively, uneven texture. Strokes show medium contrast and a mostly upright stance, with bracketed serifs and subtly flared terminals. Edges are irregular and softly broken, suggesting worn type or rough printing; counters remain fairly open, but stroke boundaries wobble and thicken unpredictably. Overall rhythm is steady yet intentionally imperfect, with small variations in stroke weight and edge fidelity across letters.
Best suited for short-form typography where texture is an advantage: posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and period-flavored branding. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers, but the distressed edges make it less ideal for small sizes or dense body copy where crispness is required.
The font conveys an antique, workmanlike character—evoking aged print, letterpress ephemera, and utilitarian signage. Its distressed surface reads as tactile and human, adding grit and warmth rather than sleek precision.
Designed to capture the look of vintage serif printing with deliberate wear and ink irregularity, balancing classic letterforms with a rough, tactile finish for expressive display use.
The distress is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reading more like degraded ink and softened corners than aggressive grunge cuts. In longer text, the texture becomes a prominent voice, so spacing and word shapes feel bold and assertive rather than quiet.
