A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and subtly uneven outlines that suggest inked or worn edges. Strokes are sturdy with moderate modulation, and curves are slightly squarish, giving counters a compact, old-style feel. Serifs are short to moderate and often flare softly rather than ending crisply, while joins and corners show gentle asymmetry that adds texture without breaking readability. Overall spacing is comfortable, with a steady baseline and a consistent, workmanlike rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial design, book covers, and feature headlines where a classic, human presence is desired. It also fits packaging and labels that aim for heritage, craft, or farmhouse cues, and works effectively for posters and display settings that benefit from its bold, textured color.
The face communicates a warm, vintage voice—confident and approachable, with a hint of craft and print-era grit. Its slightly roughened finishing gives it a human, tactile tone suited to storytelling and heritage-flavored messaging rather than sleek minimalism.
The design appears intended to blend traditional old-style proportions with a deliberately imperfect, ink-pressed finish, creating a readable serif that feels sourced from letterpress or aged print. It aims to deliver strong impact in display use while retaining enough structure for short-to-medium text settings.
In the sample text, the texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the softened edges and lively terminals create a persuasive, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same sturdy, slightly irregular construction, helping headings and callouts maintain a cohesive, old-world texture.
