This serif has sturdy, slightly irregular strokes that feel inked rather than mechanically uniform. Serifs are bracketed and softly tapered, with subtly rounded corners and mild stroke modulation that gives the outlines an organic rhythm. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented: capitals are steady and not overly wide, while the lowercase shows generous counters and a compact, practical structure. Overall spacing reads even, though the stroke edges and terminals retain a lightly distressed, print-worn character.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The slightly weathered texture can add character to packaging, posters, and headings that aim for a traditional, printed feel while remaining legible at text sizes.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking printed pages, typewritten or letterpress-like material, and traditional editorial typography. Its gentle irregularities add warmth and approachability, keeping it from feeling overly formal while still reading as historically grounded.
The design appears intended to capture an old-style, humanist serif impression with a subtly imperfect, ink-on-paper texture. It balances conventional proportions and dependable readability with just enough roughness to convey authenticity and craft.
The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent serif treatment and share the same softly worn edge quality, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. In paragraph samples, the texture remains lively without becoming noisy, producing a readable, slightly rustic color on the page.
