A slanted serif design with confident, weighty strokes and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Stems frequently broaden into flared terminals, and the serifs read as bracketed and integrated rather than crisp, hairline finishing. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetrical, with noticeable stroke modulation that keeps counters open while maintaining a dense, inked color. The overall texture is energetic and forward-leaning, with subtle width variation across glyphs that adds bounce and emphasis in text settings.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium display text where a bold, classic-leaning voice is desired. It can add character to branding and packaging, especially for heritage, craft, or editorial-forward identities, and works best when given space to show its flared terminals and dynamic rhythm.
The face conveys a vintage, editorial tone—assertive and slightly theatrical, with a handwritten warmth under a polished typographic surface. Its strong slant and flared endings give it motion and personality, leaning toward expressive headline work rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely intended as an expressive display serif that blends traditional serif structure with calligraphic movement and flared stroke endings. The design prioritizes impact and personality, aiming for an editorial or vintage impression while staying legible in prominent sizes.
Capitals are compact and sturdy with prominent curved joins and softened corners, while the lowercase carries more cursive influence in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals are robust and rounded, keeping the same flared, slightly calligraphic logic as the letters.
