A robust serif with strongly bracketed, softly flared terminals and an overall irregular, hand-inked edge quality. Strokes are weighty with moderate modulation and rounded joins, giving counters a slightly pinched, organic feel rather than crisp geometry. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with steady verticals, open bowls, and a lively rhythm created by subtle variations in stroke contour and serif shape across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited for headlines and short to medium-length text where a classic serif voice with extra character is desirable. It can add a vintage, artisanal feel to posters, book covers, editorial feature titles, packaging, and branding applications that benefit from a bold, textured presence.
The tone reads traditional and approachable, evoking printed ephemera, craft labels, and storybook headings. Its slightly roughened silhouettes add warmth and personality, suggesting something handmade and familiar rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with an intentionally human, slightly distressed surface, combining readability with a crafted, old-world flavor for display-forward typography.
The figures are hefty and stylistically consistent with the letters, and the overall texture becomes more noticeable in larger settings where the irregular edges and swelling serifs contribute to a distinctive color on the page.
