A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared, brush-like stroke endings and strongly bracketed terminals. The letterforms are compact and rounded, with pronounced curves, generous bowls, and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that reads as drawn rather than mechanical. Strokes swell toward terminals and thin through joins, creating a sculpted look; counters stay open despite the weight. The lowercase is tall and energetic, with a single-storey a and g, a descending j, and an overall bouncy baseline feel that adds motion to words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, decks, posters, and branding where a strong, stylized italic voice is desirable. It can work for short editorial callouts and packaging titles, especially where a vintage or handcrafted feel helps differentiate the message.
The tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage display typography with a confident, slightly playful swagger. Its flared endings and spirited italic slant suggest classic signage and mid‑century editorial headlines, giving text a dramatic, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a calligraphic, flared-serif character—combining bold display weight with an energetic slant to create a distinctive, retro-leaning headline tool.
Spacing appears tuned for display: forms are wide in the round letters and tighter in straighter ones, producing a lively texture in paragraphs. Numerals are weighty and curvy, matching the serif language and maintaining strong presence at headline sizes.
