A text-oriented serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and softly modulated strokes that show noticeable inked irregularities at terminals and joins. The letterforms lean on rounded, old-style proportions with open bowls and a gently uneven edge quality, giving a subtly distressed, printed-from-type feel. Curves are full and slightly lumpy rather than geometric, and counters remain readable; spacing and widths vary naturally across characters, reinforcing an organic rhythm in lines of text.
Works well for book-cover titling, editorial display, and packaging where a traditional, tactile serif is desired. It can also support posters and brand marks that want a vintage or handcrafted print impression, especially at medium to large sizes where the ink texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels warm and handmade, like worn letterpress or an aged book page. Its mild roughness reads as approachable and crafted rather than formal, lending a nostalgic, story-driven character to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended to evoke classic serif typography with a human, hand-inked surface—balancing familiar reading shapes with deliberate roughness for character. It aims to provide a sturdy, legible foundation while adding an aged, artisanal finish that suggests letterpress or historical printing.
Capitals are strong and a bit rugged, with flared strokes and softened corners that keep them from feeling sharp or modern. Numerals and lowercase share the same textured edges and sturdy construction, helping mixed content (text plus numbers) maintain a consistent, old-print voice.
