A distressed serif with uneven, broken contours that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Strokes show chattered edges and intermittent thinning, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps counters open but imperfect. Serifs are small and irregular, and curves often show scuffs and notches that create a textured silhouette. Overall spacing and rhythm feel lively and slightly unpredictable, giving text a handmade, timeworn presence.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, title treatments, book covers, and thematic branding. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a worn, analog feel is desired, but the distressed edges are likely to dominate at very small sizes.
The texture and irregularity project a vintage, slightly ominous tone—evoking old posters, folklore, and aged book typography. It reads as crafted rather than polished, with a gritty charm that can feel theatrical or mysterious depending on setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif structure infused with deliberate wear, as if printed from an aged plate or written with a dry, scratchy tool. The goal is to add atmosphere and period flavor while retaining recognizable letterforms for headline readability.
The distressed treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, producing visible speckling and abrasion even at larger sizes. The caps carry strong display character, while the lowercase maintains readability but keeps the same roughened surface throughout.
