A sturdy serif with flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that read as gently carved rather than sharp. Strokes show moderate modulation, with subtle swelling through curves and tapered exits that give the letters a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Counters are open and round, while joins and shoulders are smooth and generously curved, producing a chunky, friendly texture in text. Numerals match the letterforms with rounded shapes and flared terminals, keeping the overall color even and emphatic.
Best suited for headlines and short to medium passages where a personable, vintage flavor is desired—such as book covers, editorial feature titles, posters, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers where a strong, warm typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone is warm and old-world, suggesting traditional print, hand-cut signage, or tale-book typography. Its rounded forms and flaring strokes add a playful, approachable character without becoming novelty, making it feel inviting and slightly rustic.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with flared, softly modeled endings to evoke hand-influenced craftsmanship. It aims for a distinctive, friendly display color while retaining enough regularity to set readable text at moderate sizes.
The caps present a confident, display-ready presence with stable proportions, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear apertures and consistent, rounded construction. The flared endings create a distinctive texture at larger sizes, where the terminal shaping becomes a primary stylistic feature.
