A hand-drawn, print-style serif with lively, uneven rhythm and noticeably flared stroke endings. The letterforms show high contrast between thick and thin strokes, with wedge-like terminals that feel carved or brush-pulled rather than mechanically constructed. Proportions are expansive and open, with rounded bowls, gently irregular curves, and a slightly wobbly baseline that reinforces the handmade character. Uppercase shapes are bold and sculptural, while lowercase forms are compact with a shorter x-height and expressive ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same soft, flared construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its handmade contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated, such as headlines, cover typography, posters, labels, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, while extended small text may feel busy due to the lively stroke modulation and irregular rhythm.
The overall tone is warm and informal, suggesting a crafted, human touch. Its bouncy shapes and slightly exaggerated details read as playful and approachable, with a subtle vintage or rustic charm that fits casual, narrative-driven design.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of hand-rendered lettering with serif-like structure, combining calligraphic contrast with a cut-paper or brush-carved finish. It prioritizes character and warmth over strict uniformity, aiming for memorable display typography with an artisanal feel.
The strong contrast and flared terminals create a dark, rhythmic color in text, with distinctive silhouette changes from letter to letter. In longer passages it produces an animated texture, so spacing and line length will noticeably influence the perceived smoothness.
