A distressed, calligraphic serif with a consistent rightward slant and visibly rough, ink-worn contours. Strokes show modest contrast and a brush/pen-like modulation, with tapered joins and slightly flared terminals that read as softened serifs rather than sharp brackets. Letterforms are lively and somewhat irregular in silhouette, with variable character widths and a gently uneven baseline rhythm that reinforces the hand-made feel while remaining cohesive across the set.
Works well for display typography where texture and atmosphere are desirable—book and chapter titles, posters, packaging, and themed branding for artisanal or historical concepts. It can also support short passages such as pull quotes or headings, especially when you want a period, storybook, or slightly ominous mood.
The texture and slanted, oldworld forms evoke aged print, folklore, and period ephemera—more romantic and dramatic than clean or technical. It carries a handcrafted, slightly weathered tone that can feel mysterious or historical, like ink on parchment or a well-used book page.
Likely designed to mimic inked lettering or worn printing by combining an italic calligraphic construction with deliberate edge distressing. The goal appears to be adding narrative character and age to text while keeping letterforms recognizable and rhythmically consistent.
Lowercase shows a compact, readable structure with distinct, rounded counters and occasional wedge-like entry/exit strokes; capitals have a broad, ornamental presence without becoming overly elaborate. Numerals follow the same roughened treatment and maintain clear differentiation, suited to display settings rather than dense tabular use.
