A distressed serif with chiseled, broken contours and a deliberately uneven stroke edge that reads like worn print or scraped ink. The letterforms keep a largely classical skeleton—clear serifs, firm verticals, and familiar proportions—while surface damage creates speckled terminals, nicks, and small voids along stems and curves. Texture varies from glyph to glyph, giving the set a lively, imperfect rhythm; rounded forms like O and Q show especially jagged perimeters, and numerals carry the same bitten, irregular finish.
Best suited to display applications where texture is an asset: horror or fantasy titles, game branding and UI accents, book and film posters, album artwork, and thematic packaging. It can work for short paragraphs in larger sizes where the worn edges remain readable and add atmosphere.
The overall tone feels aged and unsettling, with a gothic-leaning, storybook menace. Its roughened outlines suggest decay, mystery, and artifacts pulled from old documents, making it feel theatrical and atmospheric rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to combine a traditional serif structure with heavy surface wear, creating an antique printed look that immediately signals mood and narrative. The aim appears to be high character and texture without abandoning recognizable letterforms.
In running text, the distressed details stay visible and contribute strong personality, but they also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes. The texture is consistent enough to read as intentional, with enough internal clarity in counters to preserve legibility in short passages.
