A heavy serif with gently flared stroke endings and soft, sculpted curves. The letterforms show low contrast with rounded joins and subtly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that broaden out of the stems rather than ending abruptly. Counters are generous and mostly oval, and the overall rhythm feels slightly buoyant due to mild irregularity in curves and a few playful terminal treatments. Numerals are sturdy and open, matching the weight and rounded logic of the letters.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its flared terminals and rounded modeling are clearly visible. It can work well for branding, packaging, book covers, and editorial callouts that benefit from a warm, retro-leaning serif presence.
The face reads warm and personable, blending a traditional serif backbone with a lightly playful, retro softness. Its rounded modeling and flared terminals create an inviting, slightly whimsical tone that feels more human and less formal than a strict text serif.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, attention-holding serif that remains friendly and expressive. By combining a classic serif structure with flared endings and softened curves, it aims to deliver a distinctive display voice that still feels rooted in familiar typographic forms.
The lowercase shows distinctive, characterful details—especially in letters like a, g, y, and z—adding a hand-shaped impression without becoming script-like. In text, the heavy color and soft terminals produce a dense but approachable texture, best when given comfortable spacing and sizes where the detailing can breathe.
