A rough, textured serif with visibly uneven outlines and inky, ragged edges that mimic worn printing or brushy letterpress. Strokes are fairly sturdy with subtle modulation, and the terminals often look blunted or slightly chipped, creating a consistent distressed rhythm across the alphabet. Proportions read as classic and readable—open bowls and clear counters—while the irregular contour adds movement and a handmade feel to both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to posters, titles, and headlines where a rugged, printed texture can carry the mood. It also fits packaging, labels, and album art that aim for a heritage or craft aesthetic, and can work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes when an intentionally imperfect voice is desired.
The overall tone feels vintage and scrappy, like a well-used poster type pulled from a battered print shop. Its irregularities add personality and grit, giving text an analog, imperfect energy that leans craft, Americana, and retro ephemera rather than polished corporate neutrality.
Likely designed to capture the look of aged ink and imperfect impression—evoking letterpress, stamped signage, or distressed wood type—while keeping familiar serif structures for readability. The goal appears to be adding character and tactility to otherwise straightforward typography.
The texture is integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as an external effect, so the distressed look remains legible at display sizes while still reading as deliberately worn. Spacing and shapes feel consistent enough for short blocks of text, but the strong edge noise makes it most convincing when you want the printing artifacts to be part of the voice.
