A slab-serif design with mostly even stroke color and modest modulation, showing blunt, squared serifs and subtly softened corners. The outlines have a lightly roughened, inked quality that introduces gentle wobble and texture, especially in curves and joins. Proportions lean classic with a comparatively small x-height and open counters, while spacing and rhythm stay readable despite the intentionally imperfect edges.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, posters, and branding that benefits from a tactile, analog feel. It can also serve in short passages or UI accents where a friendly serif voice is desired, especially when paired with clean supporting typography. The textured edges and small x-height make it most effective at medium to larger sizes where its character can be seen clearly.
This face feels human and slightly eccentric, with an understated vintage flavor rather than a polished corporate tone. The irregularities and soft, inky terminals give it a friendly, literary atmosphere that can read as crafty or handmade without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to evoke letterpress or pen-and-ink printing through subtly uneven contours and softened slab serifs, while keeping strokes steady enough for comfortable reading. It balances an old-style, bookish structure with a deliberately imperfect finish to add character at headline and short-text sizes.
Capitals show assertive slab terminals and a slightly calligraphic swing in diagonals, while lowercase remains compact and tidy with rounded bowls and restrained joins. Numerals keep the same hand-inked texture and look well suited to titling and dates.
