A serif text face with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and slightly irregular contours that suggest inked or printed texture rather than perfectly geometric outlines. Curves are full and rounded, with gentle tapering into terminals and a lively rhythm that keeps counters open. Proportions feel classic and steady, with conventional cap heights and a moderate x-height; spacing reads comfortable in words, and the overall color is even while still showing subtle organic wobble in strokes and edges.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and long-form text, and literary or heritage-minded branding where a traditional serif with a touch of printed texture adds character. It can also work for packaging, posters, and pull quotes when a warm, vintage tone is desired without sacrificing readability.
The font conveys a vintage, bookish tone with a warm, slightly handmade character. Its mild roughness and traditional letterforms feel familiar and human, evoking older print, editorial pages, and literary ephemera rather than slick modern branding.
The design appears intended to balance conventional text-serif structure with an intentionally organic, inked finish. It aims for dependable readability and classic proportions while adding subtle irregularities to create a more human, printed-page presence.
The numerals and lowercase show an oldstyle influence, with varying heights and a more text-oriented feel than lining, display figures. In running text the slightly softened outlines add personality without overwhelming legibility, making it feel like a refined “printed” serif rather than a distressed novelty.
