I am not sure I get your understanding of peakedness and heaviness. Kurtosis means "Excess" in German, so it describes the "head" or "peak" of a distribution, describing whether it is very wide or very narrow. Wikipedia states that the "peakedness" is actually described by the "kurtosis", whereas peakedness does not to appear to be a real word and you should use the term "Kurtosis".
So I think you might have gotten everything right, the head is the Kurtosis, The "heaviness" of the tail might be the Skewness":
Here is how you find it:
$$ a_3 = \frac{\Sigma^{N}_{i=1}(x_i - \overline x)^3}{N * s^3_x} $$
with s as the standard deviation for x.
The values indicate:
Negative Skew: $$ a_3 < 0 $$
Positive Skew: $$ a_3 > 0 $$
No Skew $$ a_3 = 0 $$
You can get a value for the kurtosis with: $$ a_4 = \frac{\Sigma^{N}_{i=1}(x_i - \overline x)^4}{N * s^4_x} $$
The values indicate:
Wide PeakPlatycurtic: $$ a_4 < 0 $$$$ a_4 < 3 $$
Narrow PeakLeptocurtic: $$ a_4 > 0 $$$$ a_4 > 3 $$
Normal Peak, so Normal Distribution: $$ a_4 = 0 $$$$ a_4 = 3.0 $$
Did that help?
