A serif text face with softly bracketed serifs, moderately modulated strokes, and a slightly irregular, inked outline that reads like worn letterpress or a scanned print. The curves are generous and somewhat open, with a compact x-height and prominent ascenders that give the lowercase a traditionally texty rhythm. Terminals and joins show subtle nicks and swelling, creating a lively texture across lines, while capitals remain sturdy and classical in proportion with a gently tapered feel.
Well suited to book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-form reading where a classic serif voice with added texture is desired. It also fits heritage-leaning branding, artisanal packaging, labels, and posters that benefit from a print-made look.
The overall tone is literary and old-world, with a handmade warmth that suggests print tradition rather than pristine digital precision. Its mild roughness and unevenness add character and a touch of rustic charm, making text feel tactile and historically flavored.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, humanist reading experience while adding a deliberately imperfect surface for authenticity and atmosphere. It prioritizes warm proportions and familiar serif structures, using subtle distress to evoke age, craft, and physical printing.
Word shapes are strong and readable at display-to-text sizes, but the distressed edges and lively stroke behavior make it visually active, especially in dense paragraphs. Numerals follow the same organic, slightly rough treatment and sit comfortably alongside the letterforms.
