A sturdy serif with generously rounded forms and soft, bracketed serifs that flare into teardrop-like terminals. Strokes feel gently modeled rather than mechanical, with subtle swelling and tapering that gives an inked, hand-press impression. The counters are open and the curves are full, while joins and shoulders stay smooth and slightly bulbous. Overall proportions are compact and lively, with noticeable irregularity in widths and a relaxed rhythm that keeps the texture from looking rigid.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its characterful serifs and rounded modeling can be appreciated. It works well for packaging, labels, and branding that wants a vintage or handcrafted feel, and can also support book covers or chapter titles where a storybook tone is desirable.
The face reads warm and slightly mischievous, evoking storybook printing, vintage signage, and folk craft. Its soft serifs and buoyant curves give it an approachable, informal tone, while the strong weight and crisp silhouettes keep it confident and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with softened, more playful terminals and a gently hand-rendered texture. It prioritizes personality and a lively rhythm over strict rational geometry, aiming for an expressive, readable display serif with a nostalgic, crafted flavor.
Uppercase shapes show pronounced, sculpted serifs and a slightly quirky silhouette in letters like J, Q, and W. Lowercase maintains a consistent, rounded construction with a sturdy single-storey feel where applicable, and numerals are chunky with prominent curves and terminals, giving figures a decorative, poster-friendly presence.
