A serif text face with classic book-type proportions and a restrained, medium-contrast modulation. Serifs are fine and sharp, with slightly irregular tips and edges that read like worn metal type or rough ink gain rather than deliberate brushwork. Curves are smooth but not sterile, and the overall rhythm is steady across the alphabet, with crisp joins and gently tapered terminals. Numerals and capitals keep a traditional, oldstyle flavor, while the lowercase maintains compact, readable forms with a familiar two-storey a and g.
Well suited to editorial typography, book-like layouts, and themed design where a traditional serif is desired with a touch of age. It can also support packaging, posters, and titles that benefit from a subtle vintage print texture without sacrificing legibility.
The texture gives it a quietly aged, archival tone—like a well-used printed page—while the underlying construction remains formal and literary. It feels scholarly and dependable, but with a subtle patina that adds character and a hint of historical atmosphere.
Likely intended to evoke classic printed typography with a lightly weathered finish, combining conventional serif construction with a controlled, distressed surface to suggest heritage and authenticity.
The distress is consistent and relatively fine-grained, so it reads more as authentic wear than heavy grunge. At larger sizes the roughness becomes a distinct stylistic feature; at smaller sizes it will blend into a softer, slightly broken color.
