A heavy, right-leaning serif with rounded terminals and a noticeably rough, ink-worn surface. Strokes are thick with softly tapered joins, and the outlines show irregular edges plus small interior speckling that mimics distressed printing or a dry brush/letterpress effect. Proportions are lively and slightly uneven, with compact counters and a sturdy overall color; the serif treatment reads as blunt and brushy rather than sharp or bracketed in a classic way.
Works best for short to medium display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, event titles, product packaging, labels, and rustic signage. It can also suit editorial pull quotes or section headers when a tactile, printed feel is desired.
The texture and energetic slant give it a handmade, rustic tone that feels worn-in and approachable. It suggests nostalgic print—posters, labels, or signage—while staying upbeat and slightly mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture the look of bold italic serif letterforms printed with imperfect ink coverage, combining a sturdy silhouette with deliberate wear and texture for character.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and sturdy, while lowercase forms keep a casual rhythm with strongly inked stems and rounded bowls. The numerals match the same distressed finish and weight, maintaining a consistent, stamped look across the set.
