A flared serif with soft, wedge-like terminals and gently swelling stems that create a sculpted, hand-cut feel. Curves are full and rounded, while verticals often show subtle tapering and flare at the ends rather than crisp, bracketed serifs. The overall drawing is lively and slightly irregular in rhythm, with small deviations in stroke flow that read as intentional and crafted. Counters are open and comfortable, and the figures follow the same rounded, flared logic, giving the set a cohesive, playful texture in text.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, and book covers where personality is desired. It also fits packaging, café/retail branding, and short editorial callouts that benefit from a friendly, handcrafted voice. For longer passages, it works best at comfortable sizes and moderate line spacing to maintain clarity.
The tone is warm and characterful, leaning whimsical and storybook rather than formal or technical. Its flared endings and buoyant shapes suggest an approachable, folksy charm with a lightly vintage flavor.
The design appears intended to merge serif structure with a hand-rendered, flared finishing to create a distinctive, approachable display face. Its animated rhythm and softened terminals prioritize charm and recognizability over strict neutrality, aiming to add narrative and warmth to text.
In running text the font produces a distinctive, wavy color due to its energetic stroke modulation and varied gesture across letters. It reads best when allowed some size and breathing room, where the flared terminals and rounded joins can be appreciated without crowding.
