A heavy, upright serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and softly bracketed transitions, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes swell and taper subtly through curves, while many terminals finish in rounded, teardrop-like shapes that soften the overall color. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable, with slightly irregular, humanist shaping; the lowercase shows round, open counters and lively details (notably in bowls and tails) that create a textured rhythm in words. Numerals are robust and rounded, with generous curves and distinctive terminals that match the text face.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium passages where its distinctive flared terminals and warm texture can be appreciated. It works especially well for posters, book or album covers, packaging, and branding systems that want a vintage or artisanal feel, and it can also serve as a characterful text option at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is warm and characterful, combining a vintage display flavor with an approachable, hand-made sensibility. Its expressive terminals and slightly whimsical curves lend a storybook and craft-forward personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with a more hand-influenced, flared-stroke finishing, creating a bold, memorable reading voice. It prioritizes personality and rhythm over strict neutrality, aiming to stand out in display settings while still remaining readable in running text.
In continuous text, the face produces a dark, even typographic color with noticeable personality in key letters (like the curled forms in C/G/S and the pronounced tails in Q/y). The flaring and rounded terminals are consistent across cases, which helps the font feel cohesive in mixed-case settings and in larger sizes.
