A strongly weighted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly inked, hand-worked finish. Serifs are mostly bracketed and uneven in a way that suggests cut or printed edges rather than perfectly machined geometry, giving the outlines subtle wobble and softened corners. Curves are generous and slightly flattened in places, with sturdy stems and compact internal counters that hold up in heavy settings. The overall rhythm feels old-style and calligraphically informed, with small asymmetries and lively stroke joins that keep the texture active in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and featured text where its dark, textured color and expressive modulation can be appreciated. It works well for editorial design, book and magazine covers, heritage branding, and posters that want a classic serif voice with a crafted, slightly weathered texture.
The font projects a vintage, bookish tone with a handmade edge—confident and traditional, but not sterile. Its dark color and textured modulation give it a crafted, slightly theatrical presence that reads as editorial and heritage-minded rather than corporate or minimal.
Likely designed to evoke an old-style, print-era serif with visible human touch—combining strong weight and dramatic modulation with subtly imperfect edges to create warmth and authority in display typography.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast produce a strong page color; spacing appears comfortable for display and short passages, while the roughened details and dense counters add character at larger sizes. Numerals share the same chunky, old-style feel, with the heavier figures reading particularly bold and poster-ready.
