A sturdy serif with softened, bracketed serifs and gently flared stroke endings that feel slightly inked rather than mechanically crisp. Strokes are relatively weighty with moderate contrast and rounded joins, producing a dense, confident color on the page. Curves show subtle irregularities and small notches at terminals, giving the outlines a hand-cut or printed impression. Counters are comfortably open and proportions lean broad, with calm, readable shapes and a steady baseline presence.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and long-form reading where a warm serif voice is desired. The strong weight and textured terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, signage, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, crafted feel.
The tone is warm and traditional, suggesting old printing and humanist calligraphy filtered through a bold, approachable texture. It feels bookish and trustworthy, with a touch of rustic charm from the slightly roughened terminals and lively stroke modulation.
Likely designed to evoke classic, old-style readability while adding a tactile, ink-on-paper texture through softened serifs and subtly irregular terminals. The goal appears to be a friendly, heritage-inflected serif that stays sturdy and legible in both text and display use.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a robust texture that holds together well in paragraph settings, while the distinctive terminal shaping makes it noticeable in larger sizes. The numerals match the letterforms’ weight and softness, maintaining the same inked, slightly chiseled character.
