A bold, generously proportioned serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and softly modeled curves. The letterforms show a gently humanist construction: bowls and rounds are broad and open, joins are cushioned rather than sharp, and many strokes widen subtly as they approach terminals, creating a carved, calligraphy-adjacent feel without a strong slant. Contrast is moderate, with thicker verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, and the overall rhythm is energetic due to varied internal shapes and slightly irregular, organic contours. Numerals are sturdy and full, matching the heavy texture and rounded geometry of the letters.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and editorial titling where its flared terminals and bold texture can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when you want a warm, retro-leaning emphasis with strong readability.
The font reads warm and personable, pairing a vintage flavor with a confident, display-forward presence. Its flared endings and soft geometry give it an approachable, slightly playful tone while still feeling substantial and emphatic.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif cues with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, delivering a bold voice that feels handcrafted and lively rather than strictly formal. Its wide proportions and open shapes suggest an emphasis on impact and clarity in attention-grabbing typography.
At larger sizes the flaring and terminal shapes become a key identifying feature, adding texture and motion to lines of text. The wide set and ample counters help keep dense, bold words from feeling clogged, especially in mixed-case settings.
