A serif design with gently bracketed serifs and an organic, slightly inked outline that gives strokes a hand-rendered, textured edge. Letterforms keep a steady upright stance while allowing subtle irregularities in curves and terminals, producing a lively rhythm rather than strict mechanical repetition. Proportions feel traditional and compact, with small counters and a relatively modest x-height that emphasizes ascenders and capitals. Numerals follow the same drawn-in character, with rounded forms and lightly uneven stroke edges that read like print from a physical process.
Works well for book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or historical themed materials where a tactile, printed feel is desired. It can also support packaging and boutique branding that benefits from warmth and tradition, especially at display and large text sizes where the textured edges remain clear.
The overall tone is literary and old-world, suggesting printed pages, folklore, and craft rather than corporate polish. Its slight roughness adds warmth and approachability, lending a sense of authenticity and period flavor without becoming distressed or grungy.
Likely intended to evoke classic book typography with a subtly handmade finish—combining familiar old-style proportions with a controlled, print-like irregularity to create charm and personality in titles and short passages.
Capitals have a classical presence with soft, flared entry/exit strokes and mild stroke modulation, while lowercase details (like the two-storey a and g) reinforce a traditional text-face lineage. The texture is consistent across letters and figures, so the “hand-inked” character reads as intentional and cohesive in running text.
