A heavy, slanted serif with compact proportions and strongly rounded terminals, rendered with intentionally irregular edges and subtle interior nicks that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Strokes show modest contrast and a gently uneven rhythm, with slightly inconsistent curves and joins that keep the texture lively. The letterforms lean right with a calligraphic, hand-drawn feel, and the numerals share the same softened, imperfect outlines for a cohesive set.
This font is best suited to display use such as posters, packaging fronts, labels, and headline treatments where its roughened edges and energetic slant can be appreciated. It also fits short editorial titles or chapter heads that want a vintage, handmade voice without moving into full script territory.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a nostalgic, tactile character that feels craft-oriented and a little mischievous. Its distressed texture reads as aged and human, lending personality and approachability rather than precision or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-getting serif with a deliberately worn, handcrafted surface—capturing the feel of imperfect printing and adding instant character to themed or story-driven typography.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified “printed-by-hand” impression. Larger sizes emphasize the chipped/ink-bleed details, while smaller sizes may compress the texture into a darker, more rugged color on the page.
