A serif text face with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a sturdy, irregular stroke edge that reads as worn or inked-in. Letterforms are generally upright with broad proportions and generous internal space, while counters and terminals show small nicks, roughening, and subtle wobble that create a distressed print texture. Curves are full and somewhat bulbous, joins are rounded rather than sharp, and overall spacing is open enough to keep the texture from collapsing at display-to-text sizes.
Well suited to editorial display, pull quotes, and chapter or section headings where a classic serif voice with visible texture is desirable. It also works for branding, packaging, labels, and posters that aim for a heritage or handcrafted tone, especially in larger sizes where the distressed edge becomes a defining feature.
The font conveys an antique, printed-on-paper character—part book page, part old poster—combining friendliness with a lightly weathered grit. Its uneven edges and softened details give it a human, analog feel that suggests heritage, craft, and storytelling rather than clinical modernity.
Likely designed to evoke traditional serif typography while introducing deliberate print wear and hand-inked irregularity for a more tactile, vintage impression. The goal appears to be familiar readability paired with distinctive texture for characterful display use.
Uppercase forms maintain a traditional serif skeleton, while lowercase adds more personality through varied terminals and slightly idiosyncratic shapes. Figures are similarly textured and sturdy, suited to headings where the distressed detailing can be appreciated.
