A serif display face with roughened, ink-worn contours and subtly uneven stroke endings that suggest imperfect printing or a distressed pen-and-ink impression. Letterforms are upright with modest contrast and a lively, hand-touched rhythm; strokes taper and swell slightly, and serifs appear blunt, bracketed, and occasionally softened by texture. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase, with small counters and a short x-height, while capitals read tall and prominent. Numerals follow the same irregular, lightly weathered treatment for a cohesive, handcrafted look.
Well-suited for display settings such as posters, book covers, chapter openers, labels, and packaging where a vintage, handmade mood is desired. It can also work for short passages in themed materials (menus, invitations, signage) when set with generous size and spacing to keep the textured edges legible.
The overall tone is nostalgic and artisanal, combining old-time bookish manners with a playful, slightly scruffy edge. Its irregularities add warmth and personality, evoking antique print, folk craft, and story-driven titles rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif readability while injecting a deliberately imperfect, timeworn surface. Its goal is to provide a themed, expressive voice that feels printed, tactile, and characterful rather than crisp or mechanical.
Texture is consistent across the alphabet, with small nicks and waviness along curves and terminals that create a believable “worn ink” feel. Spacing appears comfortable in text samples, but the distressed edges and compact lowercase make it read best at moderate-to-large sizes where the character of the outlines can be appreciated.
