A compact, old-style serif with bracketed wedges and a lively, slightly uneven color that suggests an inked or distressed impression. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with gently tapered terminals, and the serifs sit softly into the stems rather than snapping as sharp slabs. The lowercase has rounded bowls and moderate counters, with a relatively narrow feel in letters like n, m, and u, while capitals keep traditional proportions and sturdy vertical stress. Subtle roughness along edges and occasional notch-like details give the outlines a tactile, printed character without obscuring letterforms.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support branding, packaging, and headlines that benefit from a vintage, printed feel, especially when paired with simple sans companions for contrast.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, human rhythm that reads as familiar and trustworthy. The slight roughness adds a period flavor—more heritage print than sleek contemporary editorial—creating an approachable, crafted voice.
Likely designed to evoke traditional, calligraphically informed serif typography while introducing a lightly worn, print-like texture for character. The goal appears to be readable text with an added sense of materiality and heritage.
The face maintains good rhythm in paragraph setting, with distinct shapes between similar characters and a consistent serif logic across cases. Numerals appear text-oriented rather than purely geometric, matching the letters’ contrast and softened joins.
