A bold, hand-rendered serif with softly squared proportions and intentionally uneven contours. Strokes look like they were printed or painted with slight wobble and dry-brush breakup, creating small chips and speckled voids along stems and bowls. Serifs are chunky and simplified, with a lightly bracketed feel and irregular terminals that vary from glyph to glyph. Counters stay open and readable, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) show subtle flattening and lumpy geometry that reinforces the distressed texture.
Works best for display typography where the rough texture and handcrafted shapes can be seen clearly—posters, event graphics, packaging, labels, menus, and rustic or retro branding. It can also add character to short pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is tactile and analog—like letterpress, stamped signage, or brush-ink titling. Its friendly irregularity reads casual and approachable, while the worn texture adds grit and a lived-in, vintage character.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect ink coverage and worn printing while preserving strong, legible letterforms. The intent appears to be a versatile, personality-forward display serif that delivers a handcrafted, vintage feel without becoming overly decorative.
The set maintains a consistent silhouette and rhythm despite purposeful inconsistency in edge detail. Numerals and capitals are assertive and poster-like, while lowercase forms keep a simple, sturdy construction that holds up well at display sizes where the texture can be appreciated.
