A sturdy serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and softly irregular contours that suggest ink spread or a lightly distressed print. Strokes show gentle modulation, with rounded joins and slightly uneven edges that keep the texture lively without becoming noisy. Proportions lean traditional and bookish, with compact lowercase and small counters that create a dense, rhythmic text color. Capitals are firm and slightly flared, and the numerals follow the same organic, old-style sensibility with subtly varied widths and a hand-cut feel.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and narrative-heavy designs that benefit from a traditional serif with added texture. It also works effectively for packaging, labels, and posters where a vintage or artisanal tone is desired, especially in headings paired with simpler body type.
The overall tone feels historical and tactile—evoking printed ephemera, letterpress posters, and classic book typography with a human touch. Its subtle roughness adds warmth and approachability, giving long passages a storytelling, period-tinged character rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to blend old-style readability with a deliberately tactile finish, capturing the warmth of traditional printing while maintaining a consistent, usable rhythm across text and display sizes.
In the text sample, the darker, slightly mottled edges create a consistent page texture that reads as intentional and craft-oriented. The unevenness is controlled enough to stay legible, but it will look most convincing at sizes where the inked texture can be appreciated rather than appearing like noise.
