A heavy, display-oriented serif with strongly sculpted, flared terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms are rounded and bulbous through bowls and shoulders, contrasted by sharp, pinched joins and wedge-like spur details that create a lively, cut-paper silhouette. Serifs read as soft, tapering flicks rather than rectangular slabs, and many characters show asymmetric shaping and subtly irregular contouring that gives an organic, hand-drawn rhythm. Proportions are generous and open, with broad counters and a slightly bouncy baseline feel across the set.
Best suited to large sizes where the sculpted terminals and high-contrast modulation can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and expressive branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or titles, but the dense, decorative texture is likely to overpower long-form text.
The overall tone is exuberant and characterful, blending vintage poster energy with a storybook, whimsical charm. Its dramatic curves and flaring details feel theatrical and a bit mischievous, designed to attract attention and add personality rather than stay neutral.
This design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display serif that borrows from vintage sign and poster traditions while emphasizing playful, exaggerated curves and flared details. The goal seems to be strong personality and memorability through distinctive silhouettes and animated rhythm.
The numeral set continues the same sculpted logic, with curvy, calligraphic weight shifts and distinctive terminal flicks. The texture in paragraph settings is dark and punchy, with noticeable shape variety from letter to letter that reads as intentional decoration.
