A compact serif with sturdy stems, softly bracketed serifs, and subtly flared terminals. The forms show gentle irregularities in stroke edges and joins, creating an inked, hand-drawn impression while remaining largely consistent in rhythm. Counters are moderately tight, curves are slightly squashed, and many letters finish with rounded, bulb-like terminals that give the shapes a warm, tactile texture. The numerals follow the same soft, organic construction with simple, readable silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and titling where its characterful serifs and inked texture can be appreciated. It can work for editorial headings, book covers, boutique branding, and packaging, particularly in contexts aiming for a vintage or handcrafted feel rather than a sleek contemporary tone.
The font conveys a vintage, literary tone with a playful, slightly eccentric voice. Its uneven, pen-and-press texture feels approachable and human, suggesting old books, labels, or display typography with a quirky charm rather than strict formality.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif structure with a hand-inked, slightly quirky finish, offering a readable display serif that feels historic and human. The aim appears to be distinctive personality for titles and branding while keeping letterforms familiar and approachable.
In text settings, the strong vertical emphasis and compact proportions produce a steady color on the page, while the irregular terminals and serifs add personality. The most distinctive trait is the consistent use of softened, rounded endings and lightly wavy contours, which keeps the design decorative without becoming overly ornate.
