This serif design shows sturdy, slightly irregular letterforms with wedge-like, flared terminals and subtly chiseled corners. Strokes are mostly even but shift gently in thickness, and many joins and curves show a hand-cut, inked edge that reads as intentional texture rather than distortion. Counters are compact and occasionally pinched, with rounded shapes (C, O, G) showing small breaks and notches that create a stenciled, carved-in feel. Proportions are on the broad side with a steady, readable rhythm, while individual glyphs vary a bit in width and silhouette to keep the texture lively in text.
It suits short to medium-length settings where texture is an asset: headlines, posters, labels, and branding that wants an artisanal or vintage flavor. It can also work for book covers and chapter titles, where its sturdy forms stay legible while adding atmosphere.
The overall tone feels historic and craft-driven—evoking printed ephemera, folk signage, or letterpress work rather than polished contemporary book type. Its irregularities add character and a slightly mischievous, storybook charm, making the text feel human and tactile.
The font appears designed to blend traditional serif structure with deliberately roughened, carved details, aiming for a handcrafted, old-print character that stands out without abandoning readability. The slight irregularity and notched curves suggest an intention to mimic cut or stamped lettering in a consistent, repeatable type system.
In longer passages the repeated notches and roughened edges create a consistent “cut-paper” pattern, especially in round letters and figures. The design remains fairly upright and structured, so the texture reads as personality layered onto a conventional serif skeleton rather than a purely decorative display face.
