Booklet Cordel

by Galdino Otten · Website

Booklet Cordel is a bold slab serif from Galdino Otten with a rough, woodcut texture that gives every letter the appearance of being hand-carved and printed on cheap paper. The worn edges and uneven ink coverage nod to the cordel chapbook tradition of northeastern Brazil, where bold, crudely printed type was part of the charm. It shines at headline sizes for posters, editorial work, and packaging where you want something that feels physically made rather than digitally polished.
