A heavy, rounded, hand-drawn serif with soft wedge-like terminals and subtly uneven contours that mimic brush or marker pressure. Strokes are chunky with moderate contrast and frequent tapering at ends, creating a carved, slightly blobby silhouette. Letter widths vary noticeably and spacing feels lively rather than engineered, with a gentle wobble in verticals and curves. The lowercase is compact with simple, readable forms and a single-storey a and g; numerals are bold and open, matching the same softened, tapered finishing.
Best suited to display work where bold, friendly character is the priority—posters, playful branding, product packaging, event titles, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes, but the strong texture and irregular rhythm will be most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a nostalgic, poster-like warmth. Its wavy rhythm and soft, exaggerated weight give it a whimsical, handcrafted personality that feels approachable and a bit quirky.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, attention-grabbing display voice while preserving a handmade, informal charm. Its softened serifs and brush-tapered terminals aim to balance retro headline presence with approachable, playful readability.
The design relies on mass and silhouette for impact, so counters and joins are kept open and uncomplicated. Angular letters (like K, V, W, X) retain softened corners and brushy tapering, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
