A heavy, sculpted serif with flared stroke endings and compact, rounded counters. Stems swell subtly into terminals, creating soft wedge-like serifs and a slightly chiseled silhouette, while overall contrast remains minimal. Curves are broad and full, joins are blunt, and several letters show small notches or inward cuts that add texture at corners and intersections. Spacing reads generous and open for the weight, with a lively, uneven rhythm that favors personality over strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to display sizes where the flared terminals and carved-in details can be appreciated—such as posters, titles, packaging, and book or game covers. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes, signage) when a friendly, illustrative tone is desired.
The face feels playful and theatrical, with a storybook warmth and a touch of vintage sign-painting flair. Its chunky forms and quirky detailing give it an inviting, characterful voice suited to lighthearted or fantastical themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display serif with flared, hand-carved styling cues. Its goal is to provide strong impact while keeping the mood light and characterful through rounded proportions and decorative terminal shaping.
The uppercase has a strong headline presence with distinctive, flaring serifs and slightly irregular internal shapes that keep large settings from feeling monotonous. Numerals are bold and rounded with decorative terminal shaping that matches the letters, maintaining a consistent, display-forward texture across mixed text.
