A spidery serif display face with thin strokes and lightly bracketed, wedge-like terminals. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with pitted edges, small breaks, and ink-like nicks that create a worn, printed texture. Capitals are tall and open with lively curvature, while lowercase forms keep a modest x-height and show inconsistent stroke joins and spacing that enhance the handmade feel. Numerals follow the same distressed construction, mixing smooth curves with abrupt, chipped details.
Works best at display sizes where the distressed edges and quirky serif shapes can be appreciated—posters, book covers, product labels, album art, and theatrical or seasonal titling. It can be used for short passages or pull quotes when a deliberately imperfect, characterful texture is desired, but it will look busiest in long text.
The overall tone feels eccentric and old-world, like imperfect letterpress or hand-drawn titling from a curious vintage booklet. Its uneven rhythm and distressed detailing read as playful and slightly spooky, more charmingly odd than formal or technical.
Likely designed to mimic worn ink on paper and introduce personality through irregular outlines and unconventional serif details. The goal appears to be distinctive, one-off display typography that feels handcrafted and slightly antiquated rather than precise and modern.
Texture is a core feature: many strokes appear partially eroded or interrupted, and several serifs and terminals look blunt or broken, producing a jittery color on the line. In text, the thin hairlines and irregular edges keep it visually active, so it reads more as a display style than a calm reading face.
