A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and softly irregular outlines that feel slightly worn or ink-pressed. Strokes are heavy with gentle modulation, and many terminals show subtly scalloped or notched edges that add texture without breaking legibility. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while shoulders and bowls stay compact and muscular, producing a dark, even typographic color. The lowercase has a straightforward, workmanlike structure with a modest x-height, and the numerals match the same chunky, old-style rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and titling where its heavy color and textured detailing can be appreciated—such as book covers, editorial features, posters, and product packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when a traditional, tactile tone is desired.
The texture and softened, uneven edges give the face a handmade, timeworn voice—warm, analog, and a bit rustic. It reads as traditional and trustworthy rather than slick, evoking letterpress, bookish ephemera, and craft packaging.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif foundation with a deliberately tactile, slightly distressed finish—combining familiar old-style proportions with print-like roughness for characterful display typography.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally robust, with compact interior spaces and confident serifs that help lines hold together in display sizes. The overall silhouette stays steady and upright, but the small irregularities prevent it from looking clinical.
