A narrow, upright serif design with a hand-printed feel and intentionally uneven texture. Strokes show medium contrast with slightly flared, bracketed-looking serifs and softened terminals, while counters and bowls appear subtly wobbly and organic rather than mechanically smooth. The outlines have a distressed, ink-rubbed interior texture that creates a rough, letterpress-like grain across stems and curves. Spacing and widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a crafted rhythm, and the lowercase reads with a relatively short x-height and compact proportions.
This font suits display-forward applications where texture is an asset: posters, themed packaging, labels, book covers, and headline treatments. It can also work for short blocks of copy in projects aiming for a vintage or handcrafted print mood, where a slightly rough typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is nostalgic and handmade, suggesting old print, stamped labeling, or book typography that’s been worn in over time. Its irregular edges and textured fill give it a friendly, imperfect charm that feels artisanal rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to evoke aged printing and handmade lettering within a structured serif framework. By combining conventional serif forms with consistent distress and slight irregularity, it aims to deliver legible, characterful type that feels printed, worn, and expressive.
In the sample text, the texture stays prominent at display and subhead sizes, producing a darker color and a slightly noisy typographic surface. Numerals match the same distressed treatment and maintain the narrow, upright stance, supporting cohesive titling and numbering in themed layouts.
