A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and slightly irregular stroke edges that suggest an inked or printed texture. The letters show a steady, readable rhythm with moderate contrast and gently cupped terminals; counters are open and the bowls are generous, especially in C, O, e, and a. Capitals are broad and confident with classic proportions, while the lowercase leans toward traditional book forms (two-storey a and g) and a compact, sturdy stance. Numerals are heavy and friendly, with soft curves and an old-print solidity that matches the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book covers, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice with extra presence is helpful. The weight and texture also work effectively for posters, labels, and packaging that want a heritage or craft-printed feel, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and literary, like a well-worn book face or an old poster headline pulled from letterpress. Its slight roughness and swelling curves add warmth and personality without tipping into novelty, giving text a human, printed presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with added character—combining traditional proportions and bracketing with a deliberately printed texture for a more tactile, nostalgic impression.
Texture appears consistently across glyphs, with occasional small nicks and unevenness along strokes that read as intentional distress rather than randomness. The design keeps conventional serif structure but adds liveliness through rounded modeling and subtly varied stroke endings.
