A mixed-case roman with lightly roughened contours and subtly uneven stroke edges that mimic ink spread or worn printing. The letterforms are largely simple and geometric, but with humanized construction: slightly irregular curves, softened corners, and occasional wobble in verticals and horizontals. Counters stay open and readable, terminals tend to be blunt, and round letters show gentle asymmetry. Spacing appears moderately loose and steady in text, with a natural, non-mechanical rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited for packaging, labels, and branding where a tactile, handcrafted impression is desirable. It can also work for posters, headlines, and short-to-medium editorial passages when you want warmth and personality without sacrificing basic readability.
The overall tone feels handmade and approachable, like a well-used rubber stamp or screen-printed lettering on craft packaging. Its irregularities read as intentional texture rather than damage, giving it a friendly, rustic character with a mild vintage flavor.
Designed to deliver a dependable, text-capable roman structure while adding a layer of printed texture and human irregularity. The goal appears to be a versatile display-and-text hybrid that signals authenticity, craft, and a slightly timeworn finish.
The distressed treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, so it holds together as a system in continuous text. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the same soft, worn edge quality seen in the letters.
