A sturdy serif design with pronounced flaring into wedge-like terminals and softly blunted corners. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn with a pen: verticals broaden into tapered serifs, while joins and shoulders are rounded, giving the letterforms a slightly swollen, organic silhouette. Counters are generally open and generous, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) keep a smooth, even rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, solid shapes with a single-storey a and g, a broad-shouldered m and n, and a tall, simple t that reinforces the grounded texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its flared terminals and sturdy silhouettes can carry personality—such as packaging, signage, editorial headings, and book or album covers. It can also work for branding applications that want a crafted, heritage-leaning feel rather than a polished contemporary finish.
The overall tone is warm and old-world, suggesting traditional print, craft labels, or classic tale-book typography. Its flared endings and softened geometry add a handmade, slightly medieval character without becoming overly ornate, creating an approachable, hearty voice.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, hand-shaped serif with flared stroke endings—prioritizing character and tactile presence over strict geometric regularity. It aims for strong visibility and a distinctive texture, while keeping letterforms familiar and readable in typical display contexts.
Capitals read strongly in display sizes, with distinctive wedge serifs and rounded interior shaping that keeps heavy forms from feeling rigid. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, designed to match the font’s chunky, carved-in look.
