A serifed, print-like design with intentionally rough, irregular contours and broken-looking terminals. Strokes show an inked, slightly blobby texture with small nicks and waviness along stems and curves, giving each glyph a subtly different edge profile. Serifs are chunky and bracketed in feel, and counters tend to be compact, which increases density in text. Overall spacing reads steady, while the distressed outlines introduce a lively, imperfect rhythm across lines.
Well-suited for display typography where a worn, tactile impression is desirable—posters, book and album covers, packaging, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a vintage/analog atmosphere is the priority over pristine neutrality.
The font communicates a weathered, tactile mood—like aged letterpress, old stamps, or imperfectly inked type. Its rough edges and uneven ink spread evoke archival documents, pulp-era ephemera, and gritty storytelling with an analog, handmade edge.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect printing and age-worn type, combining classic serif proportions with deliberate edge erosion and ink spread. Its goal is to deliver immediate texture and atmosphere while remaining broadly legible in typical display settings.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and poster-capable, while lowercase retains the same rough texture and solid color, keeping text blocks assertive. Numerals match the distressed treatment and maintain a consistent, heavy ink presence. The texture is prominent enough that very small sizes may lose crispness, but it adds character at display and headline scales.
