A serif text face with strongly bracketed serifs and a visibly calligraphic, hand-inked edge. Strokes show pronounced modulation with tapered joins and slightly irregular terminals that create a lively, organic texture. Counters are moderately open and the letterforms lean toward traditional proportions, with compact, sturdy serifs and a gently varied rhythm across the line. The lowercase has a rounded, readable build and the capitals feel formal but not rigid, with subtle curvature and softened corners.
Well suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and book-like settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits literary titles, museum or heritage communications, and packaging or labels that benefit from an established, crafted look.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting historical print and traditional craftsmanship. Its slightly roughened, human touch keeps it from feeling sterile, giving text a warm, literary character appropriate for heritage or archival-flavored design.
The design appears intended to capture an old-style, print-rooted feel with clear calligraphic influence—balancing readable text construction with enough irregularity and contrast to evoke hand-set or inked lettering.
In paragraph settings the texture is moderately dark and animated, with noticeable stroke contrast that adds sparkle at display sizes while still reading comfortably as text. Numerals follow the same serifed, traditional styling and sit confidently alongside uppercase and lowercase.
