A serifed display face with irregular, roughened outlines that mimic worn ink or distressed printing. Strokes show noticeable wobble and edge breakup, with small spikes, nicks, and blots that create a handmade rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often asymmetrical, and curves (notably in bowls and rounded counters) appear slightly pinched or lopsided in a deliberate, organic way. Spacing and glyph widths feel uneven, reinforcing a lively, non-mechanical texture while remaining broadly readable at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets—titles, posters, covers, and themed branding. It works well for period-leaning or fantastical concepts (folklore, gothic, craft, or artisanal) and benefits from generous sizing and contrast against clean backgrounds to keep the distressing legible.
The overall tone is old-world and atmospheric, suggesting vintage book type, folklore, and slightly eerie or magical themes. Its distressed texture adds grit and immediacy, like ink stamped on rough paper, giving headlines a dramatic, crafted presence.
The design appears intended to provide a classic serif foundation infused with a convincingly imperfect, hand-printed surface. Its goal is to evoke age, tactility, and narrative mood while maintaining the recognizable structure of a traditional text-inspired letterform.
Uppercase forms have a traditional, inscriptional feel, while the lowercase carries a more calligraphic, hand-rendered character with lively terminals. Numerals follow the same worn-ink treatment, with softened corners and occasional flicks that keep the set cohesive.
