A high-contrast serif with crisp, traditional letter skeletons overlaid by purposeful wear. The forms show bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and rounded bowls, with irregular bite-marks and scuffed interior texture that mimic distressed ink on paper. Proportions stay fairly classic and upright, with moderate apertures and balanced counters; the distressing is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, adding texture without collapsing the core shapes.
Works best for display typography where texture is an asset: posters, book or album covers, labels and packaging, and brand marks seeking a heritage or analog-print feel. In editorial settings it suits headings, pull quotes, and short passages where the distressed detailing can be appreciated without reducing clarity.
The overall tone feels archival and tactile—like letterpress or aged print pulled from an old book or poster. Its roughened edges add a gritty, lived-in character while the underlying serif structure keeps it refined and familiar, creating a mix of elegance and patina.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading skeleton with an added layer of printed wear, evoking aged ink, rough paper, and historical ephemera. It aims to provide instant atmosphere and authenticity while preserving legible, conventional serif forms.
The distress effect varies slightly from glyph to glyph, creating a convincingly non-uniform impression while maintaining a coherent rhythm in running text. Numerals and capitals retain strong silhouettes, and the texture reads most clearly at display sizes, where the worn details become a prominent part of the voice.
