A flared serif design with gently swelling stems that widen into wedge-like terminals rather than crisp bracketed serifs. Stroke contrast is moderate, with rounded joins and slightly uneven, hand-cut contours that create a lively texture across words. The capitals are broad and sculpted with pronounced wedge ends, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and a single-storey a and g, giving the face a more traditional, artisanal rhythm. Numerals follow the same flared, slightly calligraphic construction, and the overall silhouette reads sturdy with subtle organic variation in stroke endings.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book-cover titling where the flared terminals and hand-tooled texture can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that aims for a heritage or craft feel, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The tone feels old-world and storybook-like, with a hand-crafted warmth that suggests print ephemera, folklore, and decorative editorial work. Its lively terminals and subtly irregular contours add personality without tipping into novelty, creating a friendly, slightly whimsical voice.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, wedge-ended strokes that evoke hand lettering and carved or inked forms. It prioritizes expressive terminals and a warm, tactile texture to give otherwise classic letterforms a distinctive, characterful presence.
The flared terminals create strong word shapes and a distinctive “cut” at the ends of stems, which becomes especially noticeable in larger sizes and in all-caps settings. Counters stay fairly open, but the energetic detailing at terminals can build visual density in longer passages.
