A lively serif display face with subtly irregular, hand-shaped contours and flared wedge-like terminals. Strokes show gentle modulation and soft joins, creating a buoyant rhythm rather than a rigid typographic grid. Counters are open and rounded, with slightly eccentric curves and varying letter fit that contribute to an organic, animated texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where personality is the goal: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a retro, handcrafted feel. It can also work for short passages in large sizes, where its irregular rhythm becomes a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone feels upbeat and nostalgic, with a lighthearted, slightly mischievous character. Its wavy, uneven energy reads as casual and expressive, evoking handmade signage and vintage counterculture styling without becoming illegible.
The design appears intended to inject a groovy, human touch into serif letterforms—prioritizing charm, motion, and a vintage vibe over strict geometric consistency. Its flared terminals and gently wobbly curves suggest a deliberate move toward expressive, era-evocative display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward broad, poster-friendly silhouettes, while the lowercase adds extra bounce through angled arms and playful curves. Numerals and punctuation keep the same softened, flared-terminal logic, helping mixed text maintain a consistent, quirky voice.
