A serif typeface with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals, showing a gentle old-style rhythm and moderate stroke modulation. The outlines look slightly irregular and ink-trap-like in places, giving stems and curves a softly roughened, printed texture rather than a perfectly smooth digital finish. Counters are open and rounded, with a compact, sturdy lowercase; ascenders are straight and firm while diagonals and joins show slight calligraphic tension. Spacing reads on the generous side in the sample text, and overall color is pleasantly dense without feeling heavy.
Well-suited to editorial typography, books, and long-form reading where a warm serif texture is desirable. It can also work effectively in packaging, menus, and posters that benefit from a traditional, slightly weathered print character, especially at text and display sizes where its roughened detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with an antique, letterpress-leaning charm. Its mild roughness and lively details add a human, handcrafted feeling that reads as traditional and literary rather than sleek or technical.
Likely designed to evoke an old-style, print-era serif with a touch of worn or inked texture, balancing readability with a subtly handmade, historical flavor. The design aims for familiar, literary proportions while introducing small irregularities to keep the page color lively and distinctive.
Capitals have a dignified presence, with several characters showing distinctive, slightly quirky details (notably in curved letters and diagonals) that keep the texture animated. Numerals follow the same serifed, old-style spirit and sit comfortably alongside the text.
