A heavy, round-shouldered serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently flared terminals. Strokes feel slightly uneven in a deliberate, hand-cut way, with subtle swelling through curves and a lively, irregular rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are generous and shapes are compact, with pronounced curves in letters like C, G, S, and the bowls, plus occasional teardrop-like junctions and notches that add texture. Numerals and lowercase share the same chunky, sculpted construction, producing strong color and an intentionally “bouncy” texture in text.
Best suited to display work where its bold, characterful serif forms can lead: posters, headlines, book covers, packaging, and identity marks. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or section openers when a warm, vintage voice is desired.
The font reads as friendly and nostalgic, evoking old-style display printing and storybook or fairground lettering. Its chunky forms and soft serifs create an approachable tone, while the quirky irregularities add personality and a hint of handmade charm.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif through a friendlier, more handcrafted lens—prioritizing strong presence, soft shaping, and distinctive letter silhouettes for expressive display typography.
In continuous text the design maintains a strong, dark typographic color, with distinctive silhouettes that help word shapes pop. The more eccentric curves and terminals become more noticeable at larger sizes, where the quirky detailing feels like an intentional stylistic signature.
