A roughened, hand-drawn roman with uneven stroke edges and subtly fluctuating stroke weight that mimics imperfect inking or worn printing. Letterforms are largely upright with simple, readable structures, but their outlines wobble and thicken unpredictably, creating a textured silhouette. Counters stay mostly open, while terminals often taper or blob slightly, and curves show small dents and bulges. Spacing and widths feel loosely regular rather than geometric, producing an organic rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where texture is part of the message: posters, book covers, menu or label work, and themed branding that benefits from an analog, worn impression. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want readable forms with a deliberately imperfect finish.
The overall tone feels handmade and timeworn, with a slightly eerie, storybook character. Its irregular ink texture adds a tactile, analog quality that can read as rustic, quirky, or ominous depending on context.
Designed to deliver a legible serifless roman skeleton with a deliberately distressed, hand-inked surface. The goal appears to be adding narrative atmosphere—suggesting age, craft, or unease—without abandoning straightforward letter recognition.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel unified in longer text. The lowercase has a compact, modest profile relative to the capitals, and the figures share the same rough, inked contour for cohesive display use.
