A heavy serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like endings and softly bracketed joins that give strokes a swelling, sculpted feel. Letterforms are compact and dark, with rounded bowls and slightly pinched transitions that create an uneven, hand-cut rhythm without losing overall consistency. The serifs and terminals read as tapered wedges rather than flat slabs, and many strokes show subtle curvature that makes the texture feel lively. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text in larger sizes where its flared terminals and chunky forms can be appreciated. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks that want a friendly retro character and strong presence.
The overall tone is bold and friendly, with a playful, slightly eccentric energy. Its chunky silhouettes and flared finishing details evoke a retro, folk-leaning display mood—confident and attention-seeking rather than formal or delicate.
The font appears designed as a characterful display serif that blends sturdy, bold construction with flared, wedge-like finishing to create a distinctive, lively texture. Its forms prioritize impact and personality, aiming to stand out in titles and branding rather than disappear in continuous reading.
The design produces a strong “inked” page color, with counters that stay open but compact. Spiky wedge terminals (notably on diagonals and angled joins) add sparkle and motion, giving headlines a distinctive, animated texture.
