A decorative serif with sharp, calligraphic contrast and a deliberately irregular finish. Strokes swing between hairline-thin and chunky, with jagged, scraped-looking edges and occasional wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a carved or ink-worn feel. Proportions are generally generous and open, but widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a restless rhythm across words. Counters stay readable, while details like asymmetrical serifs, notched joins, and uneven stroke endings add a crafted, imperfect texture.
Best suited for display use where its irregular texture and dramatic contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, book or album covers, event promotions, and expressive packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or mastheads, but is less comfortable for long passages where the uneven rhythm and distressed detail may fatigue the reader.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly chaotic—more stage-poster than book page. Its rough, high-drama contrast and inconsistent edge treatment suggest spontaneity and attitude, projecting a whimsical, offbeat personality that reads as intentionally "wrong" in a charming way.
The design appears intended to inject personality through controlled inconsistency: classic serif scaffolding pushed into an experimental, distressed look that feels handmade and performative. It aims for memorable shapes and a lively page color rather than typographic neutrality.
At text sizes the distressed edges and thin hairlines can visually break up, making the face feel lively but also busy; it benefits from ample size and breathing room. The mix of crisp hairlines and blunt, ragged dark strokes creates strong sparkle and a punchy silhouette in headings.
