A serif text face with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and softly modulated strokes that suggest pen-and-ink construction. Curves and joins are deliberately uneven, with subtly wavy outlines and tapered terminals that give the letters a worn, printed texture rather than a crisp digital finish. The capitals are sturdy and classical with modest stroke contrast, while the lowercase shows lively, humanist proportions and open counters that keep words readable. Numerals follow the same old-style sensibility, with rounded forms and gentle asymmetries that match the type’s organic rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional, human feel is desired. It also works effectively for historical or artisanal branding—such as packaging, menus, and event posters—where the slightly distressed, letterpress-like texture can add character to short headlines and pull quotes.
The overall tone feels antique and bookish, with a touch of rustic charm—like type pulled from an old press or a well-used storybook. Its slight roughness adds warmth and personality, projecting a handmade, historical mood without becoming ornamental or overly theatrical.
Likely intended to evoke classic old-style typography with a subtly hand-rendered texture, balancing readability with a distinctive, aged impression. The design appears aimed at bringing warmth and authenticity to text settings while offering enough personality for display use.
The design’s controlled irregularity is consistent across letters, creating a cohesive “inked” texture in paragraphs and a distinctive silhouette in headings. The combination of sturdy stems and softened edges helps it maintain presence at display sizes while still feeling comfortable in continuous reading.
