A high-contrast serif with oldstyle proportions and a noticeably uneven, ink-worn surface. Strokes show sharp thick–thin transitions, but edges are irregular and slightly broken, with occasional blotting and small voids that suggest rough printing or distressed inking. Serifs are bracketed and somewhat tapered, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is lively due to subtle per-glyph variation and irregular stroke terminals.
This face works best at display sizes where the rough edges and ink texture can be appreciated—such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging. It can also serve for short editorial callouts or book-cover typography where a classic serif tone with a worn, tactile finish is desired.
The texture and imperfect finish give the type a weathered, vintage character that feels handmade and tactile rather than polished. It conveys a rustic, analog tone—confident and a little gritty—suited to designs that want authenticity and atmosphere.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif forms with a deliberately distressed surface, creating a traditional foundation that feels aged, printed, and imperfect. The goal is likely to add character and materiality while keeping letterforms recognizable and broadly readable.
The uppercase reads like a traditional book serif that has been intentionally roughed up, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable structure with visible texture in stems and bowls. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, reinforcing a cohesive, printed-from-type feel.
