A decorative serif with soft, swollen strokes and gently bracketed serifs that read as rounded “blobs” rather than sharp wedges. Curves are generous and slightly irregular, with a hand-drawn, calligraphic feel and subtle modulation through joins and terminals. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while many letters show playful asymmetries and varied stroke endings that create a lively rhythm in text. The numerals match the same rounded, heavy-footed construction, with smooth curves and friendly, simplified forms.
Best suited to display settings where its rounded serifs and animated shapes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and branding with a friendly or nostalgic voice. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the highly distinctive texture is most effective when given space.
The overall tone is warm and informal, evoking storybook lettering, vintage display typography, and crafted signage. Its bouncy silhouettes and soft serifs feel approachable and slightly mischievous rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, charming serif voice that feels hand-shaped and expressive, prioritizing warmth and memorability for display typography over strict, classical refinement.
In continuous text, the strong black presence and distinctive terminals create a pronounced texture, with letters like the uppercase Q and the lowercase g/y showing especially characterful tails. The design favors personality over strict regularity, which helps it stand out at larger sizes.
