A condensed, serifed display face with blackletter-leaning proportions and a deliberately rough, worn finish. Strokes show moderate contrast with sharp, wedge-like terminals and frequent interior nicks that read like chipped ink or distressed printing. Curves are slightly irregular, and many letters have narrow counters and tight apertures, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words. Uppercase forms feel more formal and angular, while the lowercase introduces simpler, sturdier shapes that keep the rhythm compact and vertical.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the distressed details can be appreciated: posters, titles, branding marks, labels, and cover typography. It works well for themed design—historic, rustic, or spooky—rather than extended reading, where the narrow forms and interior roughness can reduce clarity at small sizes.
The overall tone is antique and dramatic, combining old-world lettering cues with a gritty, timeworn surface. It suggests folklore, vintage ephemera, and ominous or theatrical atmospheres, with an artisanal imperfection that keeps it from feeling sterile or modern.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional, old-style lettering with a blackletter-adjacent silhouette, then add a convincingly worn print character. Its narrow build and strong vertical emphasis aim for dramatic impact and a dense typographic color in display settings.
The distressing is integrated into the glyph construction rather than applied as a uniform noise, so each character carries unique chips and ink breaks. This makes large sizes especially characterful, while dense text blocks take on a textured, poster-like color.
