A heavy, compact display serif with flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that create a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The letterforms are broad and sturdy with low internal contrast and softly rounded joins, while subtle notches and chiseled corners add texture without becoming sharp. Curves are generously inflated (notably in bowls and counters), and the overall rhythm is lively, with small irregularities in stroke modulation that keep the texture from feeling purely geometric.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where its dense weight and distinctive terminals can hold attention—headlines, posters, packaging, branding marks, and book or album covers. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when ample spacing is available to keep counters open and maintain clarity.
The font reads as warm, quirky, and storybook-like, with a handmade energy that suggests vintage signage and playful editorial typography. Its chunky silhouettes and animated terminals give it an approachable, characterful voice that feels more whimsical than formal.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handcrafted serif voice—combining sturdy, ink-rich shapes with flared endings to evoke traditional, carved or brush-influenced letterforms in a modern display context.
Uppercase forms lean toward squat, poster-friendly proportions, and the lowercase maintains strong presence with pronounced terminals and compact counters. Numerals match the same robust color and flared finish, making mixed text and figure settings feel consistent and bold.
