A heavy, compact serif with gently flared stroke endings and softened joins that give the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The proportions are sturdy and somewhat condensed in the capitals, with rounded bowls and a consistent, low-contrast stroke structure. Terminals often widen subtly instead of ending in sharp brackets, producing a smooth, organic silhouette; diagonals and curved letters show slight tapering that keeps the texture lively. Lowercase forms are robust and readable, with a sturdy single-storey “g” and a generous, round “e,” while the numerals are wide-set and emphatic, matching the overall mass and rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its heavy presence and distinctive terminals can read as intentional personality—such as branding, packaging, posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for brief emphasis in editorial layouts when a warm, vintage-leaning serif voice is desired.
The tone is approachable and characterful, balancing traditional serif cues with a playful, hand-shaped warmth. Its bouncy rhythm and softly flared endings suggest a retro, storybook sensibility rather than a formal or strictly editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, personable serif with flared, sculpted endings—combining traditional structure with a more handcrafted, welcoming finish for attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the font creates a dense, dark color with clear word shapes, aided by open counters and rounded internal spaces. The overall texture stays even, but the subtle flare and soft shaping prevent it from feeling mechanical, making it especially noticeable at display sizes.
