A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs and compact, ink-heavy forms. Strokes show subtle irregularity and roughened edges that read like letterpress wear or ink spread, giving the outlines a softly distressed texture without breaking legibility. Counters are moderate and slightly tightened, with a generally vertical stress and a steady baseline rhythm. Proportions feel traditional, while small variations in curve smoothness and terminal shaping add an organic, printed character.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired but with more grit than a clean book face. It can carry headlines and subheads with a strong, printed presence, and it works nicely for book covers, heritage branding, and packaging that benefits from an aged, letterpress-like texture.
The overall tone is vintage and tactile, evoking old book typography, posters, or printed ephemera. Its slightly weathered texture adds warmth and authenticity, leaning more handcrafted and archival than sleek or corporate.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a deliberately imperfect, ink-on-paper surface, providing a dependable reading rhythm while injecting period flavor and material realism. It aims to feel familiar and authoritative, yet distinctly tactile and human.
Uppercase forms feel authoritative and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a readable, text-forward silhouette. Numerals match the same sturdy, old-style print feel, with the same softly distressed edge treatment for consistency.
