A heavy, high-contrast serif with rounded, almost teardrop-like terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs. Strokes swell and taper with a soft, inked feel, giving counters a cushioned, slightly condensed look in places despite generally standard proportions. Joins and corners are smoothed and sometimes pinched, creating small ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet. The overall rhythm is bold and bouncy, with ample curves and a compact internal spacing that reads as sturdy and decorative in text.
Best suited for headlines, titles, pull quotes, and short-to-medium blocks where a bold decorative serif can carry personality. It works well in posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a vintage or handcrafted flavor, and can add a distinctive voice to editorial layouts when set with comfortable leading and careful tracking.
The tone is warm and characterful, leaning retro and playful rather than formal. Its chunky silhouettes and soft terminals evoke vintage display typography—inviting, slightly whimsical, and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive. In longer text it maintains a lively, jaunty cadence that suggests storytelling and classic print ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, display-forward serif with a soft, inked texture and memorable terminals. Its contrast and sculpted serifs aim to create instant visual identity, prioritizing charm and presence over neutrality.
Uppercase forms show distinctive, sculpted serifs and rounded ends that keep the weight from feeling rigid, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, single-storey-like simplicity in several shapes with pronounced terminals. Numerals follow the same swelling-and-tapering logic, staying consistent in weight and presence for headlines and short numeric callouts.
