A soft, wide serif with rounded, bracket-like terminals and gently flared strokes. The forms are low-contrast and slightly calligraphic in feel, with smooth joins and a lively baseline rhythm. Counters are open and generous, and many glyphs show subtle tapering into bulb-like ends rather than sharp, crisp serifs. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase adds more personality through curved shoulders, asymmetrical details, and softly hooked terminals.
Well suited for branding and packaging that want a personable, handcrafted serif impression, as well as posters, book covers, and other headline-driven layouts. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes where a warm, distinctive texture is desirable.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a subtly whimsical, old-style flavor. Its rounded terminals and buoyant proportions give it a friendly, storybook-like presence rather than a formal editorial voice.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with softened, decorative terminals to create a distinctive, approachable display serif. The wide set and open counters prioritize charm and clarity at larger sizes while maintaining a cohesive, gently stylized texture in text samples.
Wide proportions and generous internal space make the font feel airy at display sizes, while the decorative terminals add distinctiveness. Numerals echo the same rounded finishing and maintain a consistent, softly modeled texture across lines of text.
