A bold old-style serif with softly bracketed serifs and subtly irregular, inked edges that give strokes a hand-printed feel. Curves are generously rounded and terminals often flare slightly, creating a warm rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Proportions are compact with a relatively low x-height and sturdy verticals; counters stay open enough for display and short text, while the overall silhouette remains lively due to small, deliberate inconsistencies. The numerals and capitals share the same robust, slightly textured modeling, with a prominent, sweeping tail on the Q and a generally weighty, carved-in look.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short paragraphs where a warm, vintage voice is desired. It works especially well for packaging, branding marks, book covers, and poster typography that benefit from a handcrafted, heritage impression and strong color on the page.
The tone is classic and folksy, evoking traditional print, craft, and vintage packaging. Its irregularities read as human and approachable, lending a storybook or “old press” character without feeling overly ornate.
Likely designed to blend old-style serif structure with an intentionally imperfect, hand-printed surface, creating a bold display face that feels traditional yet personal. The goal appears to be legibility with character—solid forms anchored by classic serifs, animated by subtle roughness and calligraphic influence.
The face maintains consistent weight across the alphabet while allowing small variations in stroke endings and serif shaping to create movement. Round letters (O, Q, o) feel full and buoyant; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) have a slightly chiseled, hand-cut impression, supporting a textured, analog presence at larger sizes.
