This serif face has a narrow, tall stance with moderately contrasted strokes and distinctly bracketed, slightly flared serifs. Letterforms show subtle irregularities—uneven curves, softened terminals, and lightly wobbly contours—that create an inked or hand-cut impression while staying structurally consistent. Counters are relatively open for the width, ascenders feel prominent, and joins often look gently pinched or tapered, giving the design a lively rhythm rather than a strictly mechanical one. Numerals follow the same narrow, lightly irregular construction, with simple shapes and a print-like texture.
Well suited to book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short to medium text where a vintage or handcrafted atmosphere is desirable. It can also work for posters, labels, and packaging that benefit from a lightly distressed, print-era voice, especially when paired with simpler supporting typography.
The overall tone reads vintage and literary, with a touch of eccentricity. Its controlled roughness suggests analog printing or hand-lettered ephemera, making text feel personable and slightly old-fashioned rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif construction with an intentionally imperfect, analog texture—evoking older print materials while keeping the letterforms familiar and readable. Its narrow build and lively detailing suggest an emphasis on character and tone in display and editorial contexts.
In paragraph setting, the tight proportions and animated serif/terminal behavior create a distinctive color on the page, with noticeable character-to-character personality. The design’s uneven edges are subtle enough to remain readable, but they are always present as a defining stylistic signature.
