A calligraphically inflected serif with rounded, old-style proportions and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are clearly bracketed and slightly flared, with softened terminals and a subtly irregular edge that reads like ink on paper or worn metal type. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than rigidly geometric. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable structure with distinctive, gently swelling joins and slightly uneven stroke texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book jackets, pull quotes, and display-first settings where a classic serif with a tactile texture adds atmosphere. It also fits packaging and branding that aims for artisanal or heritage cues, and works effectively in short to medium passages when the textured strokes are part of the intended voice.
The font conveys a vintage, hand-printed character—warm, tactile, and a little rugged. Its softly distressed presence suggests heritage publishing, craft, and storytelling, balancing seriousness with a human, approachable tone.
Designed to evoke traditional, humanist serif lettering while introducing a deliberate worn/inked surface for character. The intent appears to prioritize warmth and authenticity over pristine neutrality, providing a classic foundation with a handcrafted finish.
The distress/ink-trap texture is consistent across letters and figures, adding personality without fully breaking counters. Numerals match the text style and carry the same softened, slightly worn details, helping headings and short numeric strings feel integrated.
