A high-contrast serif with an oldstyle-inspired skeleton and bracketed serifs, rendered with deliberately rough, eroded edges and mottled interior texture. Strokes show crisp vertical stress in the underlying forms, but the outlines wobble slightly and break in places, mimicking worn metal type or uneven ink. Counters stay generally open and proportions feel traditional, while the distressed treatment creates lively, irregular rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited for headlines and titles where texture is part of the message—posters, book and album covers, heritage-inspired branding, and craft or small-batch packaging. It can also work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when printed large enough for the distress details to remain clear.
The font reads as vintage and rugged, with a tactile, printed-on-paper character. Its distressed finish adds a sense of age and grit, giving otherwise classic letterforms a moodier, more cinematic presence.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif construction with a convincingly aged, imperfect print surface. It aims to deliver a traditional typographic voice while adding grit and atmosphere through consistent distressing across the character set.
Capitals carry strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase remains readable with noticeable texture inside bowls and along stems. The numerals match the same worn printing effect, keeping the set cohesive in display and short text settings.
