A rough, hand-drawn serif with visibly irregular outlines and blunted terminals that mimic ink bleed or worn printing. Strokes show mild-to-moderate modulation with frequent wobble, creating a lively baseline rhythm and uneven texture. The letterforms are narrow overall with tight internal spaces, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect, handmade construction. Serifs are simplified and inconsistent—often more like small wedges or notches than crisp bracketed forms—while curves and joins remain slightly lumpy, as if drawn with a marker or brush pen.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, packaging, labels, book covers, and short headlines or pull quotes. It can also work for themed materials that want an intentionally imperfect, hand-printed feel, especially when set with generous spacing and used above body-text sizes.
The font conveys a rustic, analog personality—like a worn book cover, handmade label, or a weathered poster pulled from a pinboard. Its uneven inked texture reads as human and informal, with a slightly gritty, nostalgic edge that feels more crafted than polished.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-inked lettering with a distressed print texture, prioritizing character and tactile presence over geometric consistency. Its narrow build and lively irregularity suggest it was made to deliver a vintage, handmade tone in titles and branding contexts.
In text, the distressed edges create a pronounced color and grain across a line, which can add character but also raises visual noise at smaller sizes. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and sign-like, while lowercase adds a more casual, handwritten cadence; numerals follow the same irregular, inked logic for a cohesive set.
