A serifed display face with a rough, broken outline and irregular stroke edges, as if cut from worn wood or stamped with a degraded plate. Strokes are generally sturdy with moderate contrast, but the contours wobble and chip, producing lively silhouettes and inconsistent terminals. Serifs read as wedge-like and slightly flared, with occasional notches and bite marks along stems and bowls. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, creating a handmade rhythm; counters stay mostly open, but some joins and interior curves look pinched or eroded by the texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is an asset: posters, title treatments, book covers, themed packaging, labels, and event graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads, but extended body text may feel busy due to the heavy edge distress and variable rhythm.
The overall tone feels antique and tactile—suggesting aged printing, frontier signage, or storybook ephemera. The distressed texture adds grit and drama, while the classic serif skeleton keeps it grounded and legible enough for expressive headlines. It can read as ominous or playful depending on setting, with a strong “crafted” personality.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif framework with a deliberately degraded surface, evoking vintage print artifacts and handcrafted signage. Its irregular outlines and chiseled terminals aim to add atmosphere and tactility while preserving recognizable letterforms.
Uppercase forms are bold and emblematic, while lowercase retains the same roughened treatment with simple, sturdy constructions. Numerals follow the same carved/ink-worn aesthetic, with uneven curves and slightly battered edges that help maintain consistency across mixed text.
