A slanted serif with sturdy, medium-contrast strokes and noticeably rounded terminals. The letterforms show bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a soft, brush-influenced modulation that gives curves a slightly swollen, inked look. Counters are open and the rhythm is energetic, with subtle irregularities in joins and terminal shapes that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Figures follow the same italicized, serifed construction, with curved foot-like endings and a consistent, weighty presence.
Well-suited to display settings where an expressive serif can lead—headlines, pull quotes, and titling for editorial layouts. The bold, flowing texture also fits packaging and poster work that aims for a retro or handcrafted feel, as well as book-cover typography where warmth and character are desired.
The overall tone feels vintage and spirited—part old-style print, part hand-drawn flourish. It conveys warmth and personality more than strict formality, suggesting an editorial or storytelling voice with a touch of whimsy.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more calligraphic, decorative italic gesture. It prioritizes personality and an inked, human rhythm while retaining enough consistency to function in short-to-medium text runs.
Uppercase forms carry pronounced entry/exit strokes and soft, tapered serifs, while lowercase shapes maintain a readable, steady x-height with gently animated curves. The italic angle and rounded finishing details create a continuous, flowing line in words, producing a dark, confident color at text sizes.
