A distressed, print-like serif with rough, irregular contours and visibly uneven stroke edges, as if from worn type or blotchy ink. The letterforms keep a straightforward, upright skeleton, while the outlines wobble and chip in a consistent, textured way across caps, lowercase, and figures. Serifs read as small, bracketed, and often softened by the erosion effect; joins and terminals look slightly blunted rather than crisp. Spacing and rhythm feel lively due to the varied edge texture and subtle per-glyph irregularities, giving text a mottled, tactile color on the page.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium passages where texture is a feature: posters, book or game covers, album art, event promos, and packaging with an aged or handmade aesthetic. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or headings where a rough, tactile typographic voice is desired.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade tone—more analog than digital—suggesting age, wear, and imperfect reproduction. Its texture brings a documentary and slightly ominous edge, like type pulled from old paper stock, rubber stamping, or distressed printing.
Likely designed to combine a familiar serif structure with a deliberately eroded surface, evoking worn printing and imperfect ink transfer. The goal appears to be a legible, versatile letter skeleton that still delivers strong character through consistent distressing.
In running text the distressed outline remains prominent, producing a speckled, uneven typographic color that can feel intentionally noisy. The figures follow the same worn treatment, helping headlines and short blocks maintain a consistent, weathered voice.
