A slanted serif with sturdy, softly tapered strokes and compact, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically drawn. Letterforms show noticeable modulation and occasional asymmetry, with subtly irregular curves and terminals that suggest ink spread or worn impression. Counters are generally open and round, and the rhythm is energetic, with a slightly bouncy baseline feel in mixed text. Numerals and lowercase share the same robust, textured presence, giving the set a cohesive, hand-influenced color.
Works best for headlines, short editorial passages, and branding where a vintage or handcrafted voice is desired. It suits packaging, menus, book covers, and posters that benefit from strong contrast against light backgrounds and a slightly distressed print feel. For longer reading, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with ample leading to balance its dense typographic color.
The overall tone is vintage and human, like an old printed book or a well-used label stamp. Its lively irregularities and strong silhouettes create a warm, slightly rustic personality that feels crafted rather than corporate. The italic slant adds motion and emphasis, making text feel animated and personable.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with a deliberately imperfect, print-worn texture and a dynamic slant. It prioritizes character and impact while retaining familiar text-serif proportions and readability cues.
In continuous text the heavy color and active edge texture are prominent, so spacing and line length will strongly affect comfort and density. The design’s distinctive terminals and serif shaping are most noticeable at display sizes, where the roughened, inked character reads as intentional detail rather than darkness.
