A sturdy serif with compact proportions and visibly uneven, inked edges that give the outlines a slightly distressed, hand-cut feel. Strokes show modest modulation and a softly modeled rhythm, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals rather than crisp, machined joins. Curves are full and slightly bouncy, counters are moderately open, and spacing feels organic, producing a lively texture across lines without becoming chaotic.
This face suits display settings where a handcrafted, historical flavor is desired—book and chapter titles, posters, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when the goal is warmth and texture over pristine neutrality.
The overall tone is old-fashioned and tactile, evoking letterpress printing, folk signage, and classic storybook typography. Its irregularities read as intentional craft, lending a friendly, lived-in character that feels approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to blend old-style serif structure with a deliberately imperfect, print-worn surface, creating a classic voice with added character. It aims for legibility and familiarity while signaling craft and nostalgia through its roughened contours and lively rhythm.
The uppercase has a strong, poster-ready presence, while the lowercase maintains a readable bookish color with noticeable texture. Figures match the same rugged modeling, supporting a cohesive, antique display-and-text impression when set in short passages.
