A rough-edged, hand-rendered roman with slightly irregular contours and a dry, inked texture throughout. The letterforms keep a generally upright posture with modest stroke contrast and blunt, often wedge-like terminals that look pressed or brushed rather than mechanically drawn. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm; counters are somewhat tight and the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height with tall ascenders. Numerals and capitals echo the same distressed surface, with occasional nicks, swelling, and softened corners that suggest worn printing or a marker-like stroke.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, packaging, labels, and book or game titles. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when set generously, but the distressed edges and compact counters favor larger sizes and moderate line lengths for comfortable reading.
The overall tone feels handmade and timeworn, with a lightly theatrical, storybook character. Its rough texture and uneven edges create a friendly, slightly spooky or antique mood—more craft and atmosphere than precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic roman silhouette with a deliberately worn, hand-inked finish, giving designers an easy way to add analog texture and a vintage, crafted feel to headlines and thematic branding.
The texture is consistent enough to read as an intentional distressed finish rather than random noise, and it remains legible in the sample text while still clearly showing edge breakup. The lively, uneven baseline and terminal shapes add a casual, human presence that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
