A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and softened, wedge-like serifs that read more drawn than machined. Strokes show modest modulation and slightly irregular, calligraphic shaping, with rounded joins and occasional notch-like inktrap details at tight counters. The capitals are sturdy and compact with broad curves and subtly bracketed terminals, while the lowercase has a slightly bouncy baseline feel and open, readable forms. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with varied shapes and a friendly, slightly quirky silhouette that remains cohesive across the set.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a human, slightly rustic serif can add texture and warmth. It can also work effectively for packaging, posters, and branding that want a vintage-inflected, approachable authority.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, combining a traditional bookish presence with a crafted, hand-inked personality. It suggests vintage print, editorial character, and a lightly playful voice without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif readability with expressive flared endings and subtle calligraphic quirks, creating a sturdy text voice that feels handmade and characterful. It prioritizes recognizable, comfortable letterforms while adding distinctive terminal shaping for personality in display settings.
Large sizes emphasize the distinctive flaring and soft, swelling terminals, especially on letters like E, T, C, and S. Spacing appears comfortable and even in running text, with strong word shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms.
