A heavy, flared serif with compact proportions and a subtly irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are sturdy and mostly even, with stems widening into wedge-like terminals and serifs that feel carved rather than sharply bracketed. Curves are slightly lumpy and corners are softened, creating an intentionally imperfect edge that reads like letterpress or wood-type wear. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, giving the face a dense, poster-friendly color.
Best suited to display settings where texture and character matter: headlines, posters, labels/packaging, and signage with a vintage or handcrafted theme. It also works well for book covers and chapter titling where a rugged, old-style voice is desired.
The font conveys a folksy, old-time tone—somewhere between frontier signage and storybook display. Its chunky forms and handmade irregularities add warmth and personality, while the strong serifed structure keeps it grounded and assertive.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional printed or carved lettering, combining strong, readable forms with a deliberately roughened outline for a period feel. Its flared terminals and dense color suggest it was drawn to hold up in bold, attention-getting applications while still feeling human and tactile.
Round letters maintain a consistent, weighty rhythm, and the numerals match the same sturdy, flared-terminal logic. The overall texture is lively and tactile, with small variations that become part of the charm at larger sizes.
