A distressed display face with narrow, serifed letterforms that feel carved or stamped. Strokes are broken and pitted with small voids and rough edges, creating a worn, ink-starved texture across the alphabet. Many glyphs show a subtle doubled/offset edge that reads like a faint shadow or echo, adding depth without becoming a full outline. Curves are slightly pinched and uneven, terminals are sharp and brittle, and counters remain open but irregular, giving the set a lively, imperfect rhythm.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, headlines, title sequences, and book-cover typography where the distressed detail can be appreciated. It can also work for themed packaging or label designs that benefit from an aged, printed-from-type look; for longer text, generous size and spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is eerie and timeworn, evoking old posters, apothecary labels, and gothic ephemera. Its distressed texture and shadowy echo suggest mystery and theatricality, with a hint of the occult or horror aesthetic.
Likely designed to deliver a vintage, slightly gothic display voice with built-in wear and a subtle shadowed echo, mimicking imperfect printing or eroded engraving. The intention appears to be instant atmosphere—aged, dramatic, and tactile—without requiring additional texture effects.
Consistency comes from repeated chipping patterns and the recurring offset edge, while individual letters retain hand-made quirks. The figures and punctuation match the same weathered treatment, and the texture becomes more pronounced at larger sizes where the cut-outs and breaks read as intentional character details.
