A bold, expansive serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes show a gentle modulation, with soft bracketing into terminals and frequent bulbous joins that give letters a slightly inflated, organic silhouette. Counters are generally open and round, while many strokes end in sharp, triangular flicks that add motion and texture. The overall spacing and letterfit read roomy, emphasizing the wide proportions and creating a buoyant, rolling rhythm in text.
Best suited for display sizes such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where its flared terminals and wide proportions can read clearly. It also works well for short editorial features, pull quotes, and playful titles where a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The face projects a mischievous, storybook tone—confident and friendly with a hint of theatrical swagger. Its animated terminals and broad stance suggest a handcrafted, vintage sensibility suited to expressive, character-led typography rather than neutral setting.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with lively, flared terminal gestures, creating a decorative yet readable display serif. Its wide proportions and animated endings prioritize personality and impact while keeping familiar letter shapes for comfortable recognition.
Round letters like O and Q appear full and weighty, while diagonals and arms often finish with angled, knife-like tips that increase visual sparkle. Numerals are sturdy and display-like, matching the bold, sculpted construction of the letters and maintaining the same flared, wedge-terminal language.
