A warm, old-style text serif with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that show subtle calligraphic modulation. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with slightly rough edges and minor wobble that suggests an inked or letterpress-like impression rather than a sterile digital contour. Counters are open and rounded, with moderate, humanist proportions and a relaxed rhythm across words. Capitals are sturdy and traditional, while lowercase forms keep a compact, readable texture; overall spacing reads even, though the natural variation in shapes gives the line a lively, handmade color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and warm texture are desired. It also performs nicely for chapter titles, pull quotes, and short passages that benefit from an antique, printed feel. The slightly rough contour makes it especially appropriate for print-forward applications such as book covers, heritage branding, and packaging that aims for a crafted impression.
The font conveys a bookish, historical tone—confident and familiar, with a tactile, crafted presence. Its slight roughness adds a sense of authenticity and age, lending a literary and archival mood without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to reinterpret a classic, old-style reading serif through a subtly imperfect, inked rendering, balancing traditional forms with a tactile surface. The intention appears to be comfortable text readability paired with a sense of age and materiality.
The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity and comfortable reading flow, with distinctive, slightly calligraphic joins and terminals that keep the texture animated. The numerals match the serifed, old-style character and share the same gently distressed contour, supporting cohesive use in mixed text and figures.
