A heavy, all-purpose roman with irregular, distressed contours that resemble dry-brush ink or worn stamp printing. Strokes are thick with noticeable edge wobble and occasional nicks, creating a textured silhouette while keeping letterforms broadly simple and readable. Counters are somewhat tight and organic, and terminals tend to be blunt with soft, imperfect corners. Proportions are generally wide with varied glyph widths, and spacing feels slightly loose, reinforcing the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desired: posters, title treatments, rustic or craft-oriented packaging, editorial headlines, and cover designs. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style graphics when set large enough for the distressed edges to read as intentional texture rather than noise.
The overall tone is rough, earthy, and informal—more crafted than polished. It suggests tactile printing, vintage ephemera, or distressed signage, adding character and grit without becoming abstract or chaotic.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect ink transfer and worn printing while preserving familiar, accessible letter shapes. The goal appears to be a bold display face that brings a handmade, distressed flavor to contemporary layouts without requiring additional texture effects.
Uppercase forms lean toward sturdy, blocky shapes with subtle quirks (notably in bowls and diagonals), while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction. Numerals share the same worn texture and weight, making them visually consistent for headline use.
