A decorative serif with classic book-type proportions that are intentionally disrupted by irregular, distressed interior cuts. Strokes remain mostly consistent in weight, but many verticals and bowls carry jagged, eroded-looking notches that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Serifs are present and generally bracketed, with familiar roman structures in capitals and a readable two-storey “g,” while diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Z show stronger chipping and abrasion. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, mixing traditional forms with rough internal texture for a deliberately imperfect finish.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and cover typography where a quirky, worn texture is desired. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when set at moderate-to-large sizes with slightly open spacing to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is wacky and mischievous—like vintage print that’s been roughed up, stamped, or weathered. It reads as playful and slightly spooky, suggesting hand-touched craft and theatrical character rather than clean modern precision.
The design appears intended to blend a familiar serif reading skeleton with a deliberately irregular, distressed surface treatment, creating a one-off decorative voice that feels printed, weathered, and characterful.
In longer text, the interior distressing creates pronounced sparkle and busy counters, especially at small sizes or tight tracking. The effect is most impactful when given room to breathe, where the rough edges and cutouts can function as a clear stylistic signature rather than visual noise.
