A heavy, upright serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly sculpted serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically squared. Strokes show gentle modulation and slightly swelling ends, with rounded joins and subtly irregular contours that give the letters a lively texture. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while curves (C, G, S, O) are full and smooth; diagonals (V, W, Y, Z) finish in pronounced wedges. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and ball-like dots on i and j, contributing to a buoyant, slightly calligraphic rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its weight and flared terminals can define the voice—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding work that benefits from a friendly, handcrafted feel. It can also serve for short passages such as pull quotes or book-cover blurbs where a bold, characterful texture is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a handcrafted, slightly playful character that reads as traditional but not formal. Its chunky silhouettes and flared endings suggest a folksy, storybook sensibility, making text feel inviting and personable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a more organic, hand-shaped finish, using flared terminals and soft modulation to create warmth and personality. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a confident color for impactful, approachable display typography.
In continuous text the strong dark color and energetic terminals create a distinctive texture with noticeable rhythm, especially in words with many diagonals and curves. Numerals are sturdy and expressive, matching the letterforms with similar flared finishing and rounded shaping.
