A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate modulation with broad, rounded joins and softened corners that keep dense shapes from feeling brittle. Counters are compact and the curves are full, giving round letters a buoyant, slightly inflated presence. Lowercase forms sit high and read robustly, while capitals are broad and emphatic with strong horizontal weight and wedge-like serif endings.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as headlines, posters, cover lines, and brand marks where its weight and movement can carry the design. It can also work well for packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a retro-leaning, high-impact serif italic.
The overall tone feels assertive and upbeat, mixing vintage editorial warmth with a punchy, display-first attitude. Its italic slant and swelling terminals add motion and swagger, suggesting energetic headlines rather than quiet text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, expressive serif voice—combining traditional flared terminals with an energetic italic stance to create a strong display texture and memorable word shapes.
Numbers and capitals are drawn with the same wide, weighty rhythm, producing strong color in lines and a cohesive, poster-like texture. The forms favor smooth, rounded shaping over sharp detail, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes while leaning into a bold, expressive silhouette.
