A bold, wide serif with soft, rounded construction and strongly bracketed serifs. Many strokes end in forked/spurred terminals, creating small notches and horn-like tips at corners and on mid-stems. Counters are generous and fairly open, with a compact, sturdy rhythm and slightly irregular, hand-cut detailing at joins and terminals. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a prominent ear on g, and short, thick serifs that keep forms wide and stable; numerals are weighty and old-style in feel, with pronounced curls and spur-like feet.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging where its wide stance and distinctive spurred serifs can be appreciated. It can also support short blocks of larger-size text (taglines, pull quotes) when a nostalgic, character-driven serif is desired.
The overall tone is warm and characterful, leaning toward vintage and storybook rather than formal editorial. The spurred terminals add a playful, slightly mischievous flavor, while the wide proportions and heavy presence read as confident and inviting. It suggests nostalgic print—something between classic display serif and whimsical poster lettering.
The font appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through widened proportions and ornate, forked terminals, prioritizing personality and strong silhouettes. Its consistent weight and recurring spur motifs suggest a deliberate display design aimed at memorable branding and expressive titles.
The design emphasizes silhouette and terminal detail: curved bowls and broad horizontals are frequently accented with small inward cuts and outward flares. Spacing appears comfortable for display settings, with chunky shapes that maintain legibility in short text while remaining decorative at larger sizes.
