A heavy, display-oriented serif with chiseled, irregular contours and softly jagged terminals that suggest worn type or hand-cut letterforms. Strokes are robust with subtle tapering and slight swelling, creating a carved/inked rhythm rather than a clean geometric build. Serifs read as wedge-like and uneven, with noticeable edge texture and small nicks that vary from glyph to glyph. Proportions are generous and open, with rounded counters and a sturdy baseline presence that keeps text blocks dark and compact.
Well suited to display applications such as posters, book or game titles, craft and heritage branding, packaging, and event materials where a tactile, vintage flavor is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the dense weight and rough edges favor headlines and titling over small, sustained reading.
The face conveys a rustic, old-world tone—somewhere between woodcut printing, medieval storybook titling, and weathered signage. Its roughened edges add grit and character, giving it a handcrafted, lived-in feel rather than a polished editorial voice.
The design appears intended to evoke aged printing and hand-worked forms—combining sturdy serif structures with intentionally distressed edges to create instant atmosphere. Its goal is to add narrative texture and period-leaning character while remaining broadly legible in display use.
Texture appears consistent across letters and numerals, producing a deliberate distressed effect rather than random noise. The sample text shows strong word shapes and clear capitals, while the distressed detailing becomes more prominent as size increases, making it most effective when allowed to breathe in display settings.
