A serif typeface with bracketed serifs and fairly traditional proportions, overlaid with a consistent distressed texture. Strokes show slightly ragged edges and small nicks that mimic worn metal type or rough printing, while counters remain mostly open for legibility. Uppercase forms feel steady and classical, and the lowercase follows a familiar text-face structure with clear stems, modest terminals, and readable numerals.
Well-suited for headlines and short passages where a vintage, tactile impression is desired—such as posters, book covers, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or section headers when you want a traditional serif voice with added grit and authenticity.
The overall tone is vintage and tactile, suggesting aged paper, ink spread, and well-used printing. It reads as literary and archival rather than sleek, adding a human, timeworn character to otherwise conventional letterforms.
The design appears intended to deliver the familiarity and readability of a conventional serif while adding a worn, printed texture that evokes age and physical production. It’s aimed at projects that need heritage cues without resorting to overt novelty shapes.
The distressing appears intentionally uniform across glyphs, creating a cohesive “printed” patina rather than random damage. In the sample text, the texture remains visible at display sizes and contributes more character than ornament, keeping the rhythm and spacing grounded in a classic serif model.
