A dark, compact serif with sturdy, slightly irregular contours and pronounced modulation between thick stems and thinner joins. Serifs read as small wedges with gentle bracketing, and many terminals finish with subtly scooped or blunted ends, giving an inked, press-like texture. Counters are relatively tight and letterforms feel squat and grounded, with a low x-height and prominent capitals. Overall rhythm is lively rather than mechanical, with small shape quirks and softened corners that keep the texture from looking rigid.
It suits display roles where a confident, classic serif is needed—posters, book and album covers, editorial headlines, and identity work that benefits from a handcrafted, vintage print feel. It can also work for short emphatic text in packaging or labels where strong typographic color and traditional cues are desirable.
The tone is vintage and literary, suggesting old printing, storybook headings, and crafted authenticity. Its weight and textured detailing create a warm, slightly playful presence that feels traditional without becoming formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to evoke conventional serif structure while introducing a deliberately inked, slightly irregular surface and assertive weight for characterful display typography. It balances familiar proportions with expressive terminals and bracketing to create a robust, nostalgic voice.
The font’s color on the page is strong and continuous, making it effective for short bursts of text, while the irregularities and tight counters can build a dense texture in long passages. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same sturdy, inked character, reinforcing a cohesive, old-style display flavor.
