A sturdy serif with flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that read more carved than mechanical. Strokes show gentle modulation and rounded joins, with occasional notch-like cuts that create an ink-trap feel in tight corners. The overall silhouette is slightly irregular and lively, with a bouncy baseline rhythm and open counters that keep the heavy shapes from feeling clogged. Capitals are broad and assertive, while lowercase forms lean into roundness and friendly proportions, giving text a textured, hand-shaped color.
Works well for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, personable serif is needed. Its decorative flaring and lively rhythm suit packaging, labels, editorial openers, and signage that benefits from a handcrafted, slightly vintage impression.
The tone is warm and characterful, combining a rustic, old-world flavor with a playful, slightly whimsical energy. It suggests signage, folk printing, and storybook titles—confident and bold, but more charming than severe.
Likely intended to deliver a bold, friendly serif with flared terminals that evokes traditional craft and print ephemera while remaining highly legible at display sizes. The notched details and rounded shaping appear designed to add texture and distinctiveness, giving words a memorable, bespoke silhouette.
Distinctive flare and taper at terminals adds movement, especially in letters like C, S, and T, while numerals share the same chunky, sculpted presence. The texture in paragraph settings is energetic and attention-grabbing rather than neutral, making it best treated as a display voice even when set in longer lines.
