A condensed, upright serif style with roughened, irregular contours that mimic worn letterpress or a dry-brush ink stroke. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, but edges are jagged and slightly blobby, creating a distressed silhouette rather than crisp curves. Serifs are short and blunt, counters are somewhat tight, and spacing looks slightly inconsistent in a way that reinforces the handmade print feel. Uppercase and lowercase follow traditional proportions but show intentional wobble and texture across stems, joins, and terminals.
Best suited to display typography where the rough edges can be appreciated: posters, event promos, album or gig flyers, book covers, and themed packaging or labels. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when a vintage, printed texture is desired.
The overall tone feels aged and tactile—like old posters, stamped labels, or ink dragged across porous paper. Its distressed texture brings a gritty, slightly eerie character that can read as vintage, gothic-leaning, or Halloween-adjacent depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, old-print voice with deliberate wear—evoking aged ink and imperfect reproduction while keeping letterforms recognizable and readable for bold, character-driven titles.
The texture is consistent across letters and figures, with small nicks and edge erosion that remain visible at display sizes. Numerals share the same condensed build and distressed edges, helping headings and short callouts maintain a unified, weathered look.
