A chunky, heavy display serif with softly flared stroke endings and rounded, slightly irregular contours. The letterforms are upright and compact, with broad bowls, closed apertures, and a subtly bouncy baseline feel created by uneven curves and gently wavy verticals. Strokes remain largely even in thickness, while terminals and joins swell into wedge-like flares that read as warm, carved shapes rather than sharp serifs. Spacing appears generous for a bold face, helping counters stay open and legible at headline sizes.
Best suited to display work where personality is desired: posters, titles, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or playful headers, but the heavy weight and distinctive flaring terminals make it less ideal for long-form text.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a retro, folk-signage flavor. Its puffed, flaring shapes and mild irregularity give it a handmade warmth that feels humorous and lighthearted rather than formal or technical.
The design intent appears to be a bold, characterful serif that evokes hand-cut or brush-influenced lettering while keeping sturdy, readable silhouettes. It prioritizes charm and visual impact through flared terminals, rounded geometry, and a deliberately imperfect rhythm.
Capitals show a lively, slightly cartooned stance—especially in curved forms like C, S, and G—while lowercase maintains a simple, sturdy structure with minimal delicacy. Numerals match the same rounded, weighty construction and feel designed for attention rather than dense setting.
