A bold display serif with flared, softly bracketed terminals and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Strokes swell into the ends rather than stopping abruptly, creating a sculpted silhouette with rounded joins and subtly uneven, hand-cut contours. The counters are open and the letterforms read clearly at larger sizes, while the serif treatment remains light and tapered, keeping the texture lively instead of heavy. Proportions feel slightly expanded, with sturdy verticals and broad, stable shapes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is best suited to headlines and short passages where its flared serif personality can be appreciated—posters, book covers, editorial display, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for brief pull quotes or lead-ins, but its distinctive terminals and lively texture are most effective at display sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and characterful, evoking traditional print, hand-set type, and storybook titling. Its flared endings and buoyant curves add a playful, slightly old-world charm that feels approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a more handmade, flared finishing, producing a bold display face that feels traditional yet playful. Its goal seems to be strong headline presence while maintaining warmth and approachability through softened serifs and calligraphic shaping.
The sample text shows an energetic rhythm with noticeable shape variety between letters, giving headlines a crafted, boutique feel. Numerals match the bold color and rounded, flared finishing, helping mixed text maintain a consistent voice.
