A serif display face with sturdy, wide-set letterforms and bracketed serifs, rendered with intentionally uneven outlines and a lightly mottled, ink-worn texture. Strokes show moderate contrast and blunt terminals, with small nicks and bulges that mimic distressed printing or stamped type. Counters are generally open and round, while curves and joins feel slightly softened, giving the alphabet a handcrafted, imperfect rhythm rather than mechanical precision.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where the rough print texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for book covers, labels, and themed branding that aims for heritage, craft, or vintage authenticity, and can add character to short pull quotes or subheads when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone reads antique and tactile, like aged book type or ink pressed onto rough paper. Its distressed details add a lived-in, nostalgic character that feels approachable and slightly whimsical, balancing old-world credibility with a casual, folksy warmth.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional serif typography while introducing controlled distress for a weathered, analog feel. It prioritizes personality and tactile texture over pristine uniformity, aiming to simulate imperfect ink coverage and timeworn edges in a consistent, usable set of letterforms.
Uppercase forms carry a classic roman structure, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable skeleton with subtle irregularities that vary from glyph to glyph. Numerals and punctuation inherit the same worn edges and textured interiors, helping headings and short text blocks maintain a consistent, printed-by-hand atmosphere.
