A heavy, compact serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and softly sculpted terminals. Letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with rounded joins and wedge-like, swelling serifs that read more as organic flares than sharp brackets. Counters are generally generous and circular (notably in O, o, and e), while curves and diagonals carry a subtle, calligraphic swell that keeps the texture lively. The overall rhythm is sturdy and even, with a slightly bouncy silhouette created by pronounced terminals and irregular-feeling internal spaces.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its flared terminals and chunky forms can read clearly. It works well for posters, packaging, book covers, and logo or wordmark-style applications that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning voice. For longer copy, it will be most effective at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The tone is warm and characterful, evoking a nostalgic, hand-wrought sensibility without becoming ornate. Its chunky shapes and friendly flares give it a playful, poster-like presence that feels at home in retro and story-driven contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display texture through flared serifs and rounded, low-contrast construction, prioritizing personality and impact over neutrality. Its cohesive, sculpted terminals suggest a goal of creating a retro-friendly, approachable serif that stands out immediately in titles and branding.
Uppercase forms show strong, emblematic shapes with pronounced flaring on C, G, S, and T, while lowercase includes distinctive, rounded bowls and energetic tails (such as y and j). Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with curvy, almost old-style movement that matches the text color in the alphabet. At smaller sizes the strong terminals may begin to merge visually, reinforcing its display-first character.
