A serif text face with softly bracketed serifs, gently tapered terminals, and modest stroke modulation. The outlines have an intentionally irregular, slightly roughened quality that reads like ink spread or worn printing, giving counters and stems a subtly uneven edge. Proportions lean classical, with fairly open bowls and a steady rhythm that remains readable in paragraph settings. Numerals and capitals keep the same textured, hand-touched presence, avoiding rigid geometric precision in favor of organic consistency.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif structure is desired but with extra personality. It also works for posters, menus, labels, and packaging that benefit from a tactile, printed feel. For branding and titles, it can convey heritage and craft without relying on overtly ornamental forms.
The overall tone feels vintage and bookish, with a handmade warmth that suggests letterpress, printed ephemera, or well-used editorial typography. Its slight wobble and textured edges add personality without becoming decorative, conveying an approachable, craft-like character rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar, conventional serif foundation while adding an aged or inked texture to evoke analog printing and a handmade sensibility. It balances readability with character, offering a distinctive voice for text-forward design.
Texture is the defining feature: the face appears intentionally distressed or inked, so it will visually darken and gain character as size increases. In continuous text it maintains a conventional serif structure, while the irregular edges introduce a subtle, quirky sparkle that can make headings and pull quotes feel more human.
