A compact serif with gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs and softened terminals that create a subtly handmade, inked feel. Strokes are mostly even with mild modulation, and many joins and corners are rounded, giving the shapes a warm, slightly worn texture. Counters are open and generous, while curves show small irregularities that keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanically rigid. Numerals follow the same softened serif logic, with clear, readable forms and a modest old-style flavor in their silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form settings where a friendly, characterful serif is desired, and also effective for packaging and branding that leans artisanal or nostalgic. It can support headlines and subheads with charm while remaining legible in short paragraphs and pull quotes.
The overall tone is approachable and bookish, suggesting printed ephemera and classic storytelling rather than corporate precision. Its small quirks and rounded details add a gentle whimsy, making text feel human and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif structure with a lightly imperfect, inked personality—delivering readability with a distinct, handcrafted finish. Its softened serifs and rounded joins suggest an aim toward warmth and approachability over strict formality.
Capitals present sturdy, readable constructions with softened top serifs and calm proportions, while lowercase maintains an even color and steady baseline presence. The design’s consistent rounding and mild idiosyncrasies help it hold together in paragraphs while still reading as decorative at closer inspection.
