A serif text face with broad, slightly irregular letterforms and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly flared terminals, and the outlines have an inked, hand-cut quality—edges look gently rough rather than mechanically smooth. The proportions read on the generous side with ample counters, and the rhythm is lively due to small variations in curve tension and stem thickness. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, with a compact, traditional structure and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif with added texture can enrich the page. It also fits historical or heritage-themed branding, packaging, and display settings where a crafted, analog feel is desirable, especially at medium to larger sizes where the roughened details remain clear.
The overall tone feels historic and bookish, with a crafted, tactile presence reminiscent of ink on paper. Its mild roughness adds warmth and personality without pushing into novelty, suggesting a human touch and a slightly antiquarian mood.
The design appears intended to deliver conventional serif readability while introducing an artisanal, inked texture that suggests age and authenticity. It balances familiar text-serif construction with subtle irregularities to create character without sacrificing clarity.
In text, the face maintains a consistent baseline and steady color while letting small irregularities provide texture. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the serif detailing and the slightly hand-inked finishing found in the letters.
