A serif text face with pronounced contrast between sturdy verticals and hairline horizontals, finished with small bracketed/flared terminals rather than uniform slabs. The outlines carry a subtly inked, uneven texture—corners soften, curves wobble slightly, and joins feel lightly pressed or stamped, giving the glyphs a handmade mechanical character. Proportions are on the wider side with generous interior counters, and the lowercase keeps a conventional, readable structure while letting individual letters vary in width and stance. Numerals and capitals follow the same crisp-but-imperfect rhythm, producing a consistent printed look across sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and headlines that benefit from a printed, slightly aged texture. It can also work for packaging and branding that aims for an archival, craft, or workshop feel, and for posters where the distinctive terminals and contrast carry at larger sizes.
The overall tone is retro and utilitarian, reminiscent of old print, typed manuscripts, or period editorial materials. Its slight roughness and lively terminals add personality without turning into novelty, creating a smart, slightly eccentric voice that feels literary and archival at once.
Likely designed to evoke the feel of traditional printing and typewritten or letterpress-era serif forms, combining readable text proportions with just enough irregularity to suggest ink on paper. The goal appears to be a characterful serif that remains practical for display and short-to-medium text settings.
Serif details are modest in size but visually active due to the contrast and terminal shaping, which helps it stay legible while still reading as distinctive. The texture-like irregularities are subtle enough for paragraphs, yet noticeable in headlines and pull quotes.
