A serif text face with an inked, slightly roughened surface and gently irregular contours that suggest hand-cut or hand-printed forms. Serifs are small and bracketed with subtle flaring, and terminals often end in tapered, teardrop-like shapes rather than crisp horizontals. Strokes show modest modulation and a lively rhythm, with rounded bowls and somewhat narrow counters that keep color relatively dark in running text. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase carries more of the calligraphic character through varied entry/exit strokes and uneven edge texture.
Well-suited to book covers, chapter headings, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where a traditional voice and a touch of texture are desirable. It also works for posters, menus, labels, and branding systems aiming for heritage, handmade, or artisanal cues, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its character reads clearly.
The overall tone is historical and craft-oriented, evoking early printing, folk signage, and storybook typography. Its texture and slight irregularity add warmth and personality, giving text a human, tactile presence rather than a polished, contemporary finish.
The design appears intended to blend readable old-style proportions with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture, capturing the feel of historical or hand-inked lettering while remaining structured enough for continuous text. Its controlled serif structure and moderate modulation provide familiarity, while the roughened outlines and tapered terminals supply distinctive personality.
In the sample text the face produces a dense, expressive paragraph color; the rough edges become more apparent at larger sizes and in bold word shapes. Numerals share the same inked modulation and asymmetry, keeping the set cohesive for display-style use.
