A serif typeface with old-style proportions and a distinctly hand-inked texture. Strokes show gentle modulation and slight irregularity, giving the outlines a lively, organic edge rather than a perfectly mechanical finish. Serifs are small and bracketed with wedge-like forms, and terminals often end in subtly flared, softened shapes. The overall rhythm is slightly bouncy, with modest baseline and stroke variation that reads as intentionally “printed” rather than digitally pristine.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its textured character can contribute mood—such as headlines, pull quotes, book covers, posters, packaging, and brand marks with a vintage or artisanal leaning. It can work for editorial settings when used at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing to keep the lively outlines from darkening text too much.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a rustic, human presence—suggesting traditional printing, storytelling, and craft. Its warm, slightly weathered texture adds personality and approachability while maintaining a familiar serif seriousness.
Likely designed to capture the warmth of old-style serif typography while introducing an intentionally imperfect, inked surface for a more handcrafted, vintage impression. The aim appears to balance tradition and readability with a distinctive tactile feel.
In text, the uneven stroke edges and compact lowercase proportions create a strong color on the page, especially at larger sizes where the roughened contours are most apparent. Capitals feel sturdy and traditional, with rounded interior shapes and restrained ornamentation that keeps the style readable despite the textured finish.
