A sturdy serif with slab-like, softly bracketed feet and largely even stroke weight, giving it a monoline, sturdy color on the page. The outlines show gently irregular, hand-cut shaping: slightly flared terminals, softened corners, and small asymmetries that keep the texture lively without turning into distressed display lettering. Curves are round and open, counters are generous, and the overall spacing feels comfortable for text. Capitals have a traditional, upright structure, while lowercase shows mild calligraphic influence in joins and terminals, producing a subtly variable rhythm from letter to letter.
It works well for editorial text and headings where a friendly, traditional tone is desired, such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading at moderate sizes. The distinctive slab-like serifs and gentle irregularity also suit packaging, branding, and poster headlines that aim for a vintage or craft-forward voice without sacrificing legibility.
The font reads as approachable and bookish, with a warm, old-style charm. Its faint handmade quality suggests craft printing or folk lettering, lending personality and softness while remaining clear and grounded.
The design appears intended to combine the dependable structure of a slab serif with a subtly human, hand-rendered finish. It prioritizes readable forms and steady stroke weight while adding character through softened serifs, lightly modulated shaping, and an organic rhythm across the alphabet.
Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the serif treatment and maintaining consistent color alongside the letters. The italic is not present in the images; the shown style stays upright and stable, with enough irregularity to avoid a purely mechanical feel.
