A monoline serif with lightly worn edges and subtly uneven contours that mimic imperfect inking or rough printing. The letterforms are relatively broad with generous internal space, and strokes stay calm and consistent in weight while terminals and serifs show slight irregularity. Curves are softly drawn rather than geometric, and the overall rhythm feels gently loosened by small variations in stroke endings and join behavior. Numerals and lowercase maintain a clear, readable structure, with a straightforward, workmanlike build and minimal flourish.
Well suited to book covers, editorial headlines, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice benefits from a subtly aged texture. It also works for posters, packaging, and on-screen credits that want an understated vintage or documentary feel while staying legible at moderate sizes.
The font conveys an archival, typewritten mood—practical and readable, yet softened by age and tactile imperfection. Its distressed surface adds a quiet, documentary character that feels literary and analog rather than loud or aggressive.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif proportions with a controlled distressed finish, evoking printed matter that has been handled, reproduced, or lightly degraded over time. The goal appears to be a dependable reading texture with an added sense of material authenticity.
Texture is concentrated at edges and terminals, creating a dry-ink look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, while the irregularities add character without obscuring forms.
