A sturdy serif with softly bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and subtly irregular contours that suggest inked or pressed printing rather than rigid geometry. Strokes show a gentle, readable contrast and a slightly calligraphic modulation, with broad, open counters and a warm, uneven rhythm across the line. Proportions lean classic, with compact joins and a robust lowercase that stays clear in text while retaining a tactile, organic edge.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired with extra warmth. It also works effectively for branding, packaging, and posters that want a vintage or handcrafted flavor without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, but not formal—more approachable and craftsmanlike than academic. Its slight roughness and rounded details evoke vintage printing, storytelling, and an inviting, human presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation enhanced with humanized drawing and print-like texture, balancing familiarity with a distinctive, tactile character.
Capitals are weighty and confident, and the numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning, softly sculpted feel, keeping texture consistent from headings to running text. The sample paragraph shows cohesive color and comfortable spacing, with a mildly lively baseline impression coming from the irregular stroke edges.
