A heavy, high-contrast serif with strongly flared stroke endings and compact, sculpted counters. The letterforms show pronounced swelling through stems and terminals, with sharp wedge-like feet and tapered joins that give the strokes a carved, inky feel. Proportions are generously wide with a lively rhythm, and spacing reads open enough for display while maintaining a dense, poster-like color. Numerals and capitals follow the same robust, sculptural logic, with rounded bowls and crisp, angled terminal cuts.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short editorial display where its sculpted contrast and flared terminals can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work well in branding and packaging that want a bold, vintage-leaning voice with a handcrafted, decorative edge.
The overall tone is upbeat and characterful, leaning toward a retro, storybook expressiveness rather than formal classicism. Its energetic curves and flared endings create a friendly, slightly mischievous voice that feels at home in playful, attention-getting settings.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display impact with a distinctive flared-serif signature—combining classic serif cues with exaggerated modulation and terminals for a more playful, illustrative presence.
The design’s contrast is used for personality more than delicacy: thick verticals and swelling curves are balanced by sharply tapering terminals and wedge serifs. The silhouette remains stable and upright, but the modulation and flares introduce a gentle bounce that keeps long lines feeling animated.
