A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly hand-inked texture. Strokes show sharp tapering and wedge-like terminals, with bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically drawn. The outlines are intentionally irregular—edges wobble slightly and counters vary—creating a lively, printed-on-paper rhythm. Letter widths are inconsistent in an organic way, and the numerals share the same angled stress and soft, calligraphic modulation.
Works well for editorial headlines, book-cover typography, and branding that benefits from an artisanal or heritage feel. It can also suit posters, labels, and packaging where a textured, inked serif adds personality. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes where the rough detail doesn’t overpower the letterforms.
The overall tone feels vintage and literary, like a well-used book or a traditional print shop specimen. Its roughened ink character adds warmth and a hint of rustic grit, giving text a crafted, human presence rather than a polished corporate finish.
Likely intended to evoke traditional calligraphy and early printing, combining old-style proportions with an intentionally imperfect, inked finish. The design emphasizes expressive rhythm and tactile texture to make text feel crafted and historically flavored.
The italic slant and strong contrast produce energetic word shapes, while the textured edges can visually “buzz” at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs. In the samples, capitals have a sturdy, slightly flamboyant presence, and the lowercase maintains a readable, old-style flow with occasional swashy movement in curves and terminals.
