A sturdy serif with soft, bracketed terminals and subtly irregular contours that mimic ink spread or worn type. Strokes are heavy but not monolithic, with gentle modulation and rounded joins that keep the texture lively. Counters are fairly open and the rhythm is slightly uneven, giving letters a hand-printed feel while maintaining clear, conventional forms. The lowercase shows compact, workmanlike shapes and a single-storey “g,” with ball-like dots on “i/j” and slightly bouncy baselines that reinforce the organic texture.
It suits projects that benefit from a handcrafted or heritage voice—packaging, café/market branding, book covers, editorial headlines, and display typography for event posters. In longer text it can work for short passages or pull quotes where texture is desired, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone feels warm and lived-in, like letterpress on textured stock or signage painted by hand. Its irregular edges add charm and approachability, leaning nostalgic and artisanal rather than sleek or technical.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional, human warmth through classic serif structure paired with deliberately imperfect edges. It aims to deliver a vintage, tactile impression while keeping letterforms familiar and readable for prominent text settings.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “worn” color in paragraphs. Capitals read emphatically and can feel poster-like at larger sizes, while the roughened details become more noticeable as the size increases.
