A flared serif with a pronounced left-leaning slant and lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes show gently modulated contrast and expand into wedge-like, softly pointed terminals rather than crisp bracketed serifs, giving letters a carved or brush-cut feel. Curves are slightly angular and often asymmetrical, with lively joins and varied stroke endings that make the texture energetic. Proportions feel compact and chunky, with round forms kept tight and counters moderately open, producing a dark, animated paragraph color.
Best suited for display typography where personality is the priority: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a handcrafted or vintage flavor. It can also work for short passages in editorial or book-cover contexts when a bold, playful texture is desired, but it is less suited to dense, small-size body copy.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, with a retro, storybook personality. Its left-leaning slant and flared endings add motion and a slightly mischievous, handcrafted charm that feels more expressive than formal.
The design appears intended to blend serif structure with a hand-shaped, flared-terminal gesture, creating a distinctive left-leaning display face with strong character. Its irregularities and wedge-like endings seem deliberately tuned to produce an energetic, memorable silhouette in words and titles.
In the sample text, the strong slant and variable letter widths create a bouncy baseline flow and a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. The numerals and capitals carry the same flared, wedge-terminal logic as the lowercase, keeping the style consistent across display settings.
