A sturdy serif with visibly flared stroke endings and a softly calligraphic construction. Strokes swell into wedge-like terminals rather than ending in crisp brackets, giving the outlines a carved, slightly inked feel. The proportions are compact and heavy with rounded bowls, a gently varied stroke emphasis, and a lively, irregular rhythm that reads more organic than geometric. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase shows distinctive shapes (notably the single-storey a and g) that add personality without becoming decorative.
Best suited to display settings where its flared terminals and lively texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or chapter titles where a warm, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a mildly old-style, handmade flavor that suggests tradition and approachability. Its bounce and softened terminals keep it from feeling austere, leaning instead toward inviting, human-centered communication.
Designed to deliver a bold, readable serif with a hand-touched, traditional character, using flared terminals and softened geometry to create a friendly, distinctive page color. The letterforms aim to balance strong presence with an approachable, slightly nostalgic tone.
The numerals and capitals match the same flared-terminal logic, maintaining a consistent, slightly sculpted texture across lines of text. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, helping the face hold together in short text while still projecting a strong, characterful presence.
