A compact old-style serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a subtly hand-inked edge. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently swelling curves and tapered joins, giving counters a slightly uneven, organic texture rather than a rigid geometric feel. Proportions are tight and a bit condensed, with small lowercase bodies and relatively tall ascenders that create a vertical, bookish rhythm. Terminals often end in pointed or slightly hooked shapes, and round letters (O, C, G) carry a softly flattened, calligraphic stress.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional texture is desired, especially at modest text sizes. It also works effectively for titles, pull quotes, and packaging that aims for an old-world or artisanal mood, where the slightly roughened detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels antique and literary, with a handmade, slightly mischievous character. Its irregularities read as human and historical—more “printed from worn type” than pristine modern composition—adding charm and a narrative voice.
The design appears intended to evoke classic, humanist book typography with visible calligraphic influence, trading clinical uniformity for a lively, ink-on-paper impression. It prioritizes a historical, story-driven atmosphere while maintaining the structure and readability expected of a text serif.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally compact, producing dense texture in paragraphs. Numerals share the same carved, old-style flavor, with angled strokes and pointed ends that match the serif language.
