A rounded serif with softly bracketed terminals and subtly uneven contours that mimic worn type or inky, imperfect printing. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, but edges show gentle wobble and occasional flattening, giving counters and bowls a slightly organic, pressed look. Proportions are moderately wide with open apertures and a friendly rhythm; the italic presence comes mostly from lively curves rather than any strong slant. Numerals and punctuation match the same softened, slightly distressed finish, keeping texture consistent across the set.
Works well for packaging, café or artisan branding, book covers, event posters, and signage where a vintage, handmade texture is desirable. It can also support short editorial headings or pull quotes when you want warmth and character more than pristine neutrality.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and tactile—like a well-used book, an old label, or letterpress ephemera. Its imperfections read as approachable and human, adding character without becoming chaotic or aggressive.
The design appears intended to evoke classic serif letterforms filtered through imperfect production—aged printing, ink spread, or light wear—while remaining readable and broadly usable for display and short text.
At larger sizes the roughened edge detail becomes a defining texture, while at smaller sizes it will read more as a general softness and irregularity. The capital forms have a calm, traditional backbone, while lowercase curves and terminals add a casual, slightly playful cadence.
