A classic serif with gently bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and subtly flared stroke endings that give it a hand-tooled, ink-on-paper character. Strokes show modest modulation and a slightly irregular edge, producing a lively texture rather than a purely mechanical finish. Capitals are sturdy and stately with traditional proportions, while the lowercase is compact with small counters and a relatively low x-height, contributing to a dense, literary color. Numerals and punctuation follow the same softened, traditional drawing, maintaining a cohesive rhythm across mixed text settings.
Well-suited for book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired and a strong page color is acceptable. It also performs well for literary or heritage branding, packaging, and short headlines where its crafted details and classic structure can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels historic and bookish, with an old-print warmth that reads as trustworthy and cultivated. Its slightly roughened, calligraphic edge adds craft and personality, making text feel human and tangible rather than sterile.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional typography with a human, slightly timeworn finish—balancing conventional serif construction with subtle irregularities to add warmth and character in both display and text contexts.
In continuous text the face produces a firm, dark typographic color with noticeable presence, while the organic detailing helps keep large passages from feeling monotonous. The forms remain clear and upright, with enough irregularity to suggest letterpress or aged editorial material without becoming distressed.
