A heavy, compact serif with flared stroke endings and softly cupped terminals that create a carved, ink-swell feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with modest thick–thin modulation, and the counters are rounded and relatively open for the weight. Serif treatment is short and bracketed, often swelling into wedge-like feet and subtly pinched joins that add texture without breaking legibility. Proportions are slightly irregular in a deliberate way—rounded letters feel plump, diagonals are sturdy, and the overall rhythm has a hand-shaped, display-driven consistency.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where its flared serifs and chunky texture can be appreciated. It also works well for book covers and editorial feature titles, and can set short bursts of text when a whimsical, retro tone is desired.
The face reads as playful and theatrical, with a friendly eccentricity that suggests classic storybook lettering and vintage headline type. Its chunky, flared details give it a warm, craft-like tone—more charming than formal—while still feeling bold and confident on the page.
Designed to deliver a bold, characterful serif voice with flared endings that evoke inked or carved letterforms, prioritizing personality and impact over neutral text regularity. The controlled irregularities and softened terminals aim to make large-size typography feel inviting, nostalgic, and decorative.
Uppercase forms present a strong headline presence, while the lowercase maintains a lively, bouncy texture that keeps paragraphs from feeling rigid. Numerals match the same swollen, flared construction, supporting cohesive titling and short callouts. The distinctive terminals and slight internal pinches become prominent at larger sizes, where the font’s character is most apparent.
