A textured, serifed display face with visibly irregular outlines and a subtly "inked" interior texture that suggests imperfect impression or hand-drawn finishing. Strokes are mostly upright with moderate contrast, but they vary slightly in thickness and edge fidelity, creating a lively rhythm across words. Serifs are chunky and uneven, with occasional triangular or flared terminals; counters are often slightly lopsided, and joins can look pinched or swollen in places. Proportions lean compact with a relatively low x-height and sturdy capitals, while the overall set maintains consistent color despite intentional roughness.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and short-form copy where its distressed texture and uneven serif details can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, labels, and branding systems that want a crafted or vintage-leaning voice, and can work effectively for book covers or editorial openers when set at larger sizes.
The font conveys a handcrafted, old-world tone—part nostalgic and a little mischievous—like printed ephemera, folk signage, or a worn storybook title. Its uneven edges and textured fills add warmth and personality, making it feel approachable rather than formal.
Likely designed to emulate imperfect printing or hand-finished letterforms—combining classic serif structure with deliberate wear, wobble, and texture for character. The goal appears to be a display face that feels human and tactile while remaining readable in bold, attention-getting settings.
In running text the texture remains prominent and can visually darken at smaller sizes, so the face reads best when given room to breathe. The character set shows consistent distressed detailing across letters and numerals, preserving a cohesive “rough print” voice without collapsing legibility.
