A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared terminals and softly sculpted stroke endings that read more like shaped wedges than sharp brackets. The letterforms are broad and sturdy, with generous bowls and counters that stay open despite the weight. Curves are smooth and slightly inflated, while joins and corners are subtly rounded, producing a friendly, molded look. The rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with distinctive, slightly exaggerated entry/exit strokes and a compact overall stance that keeps text blocks dense and dark.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where you want a dense, attention-grabbing voice with a retro edge. It can work well on packaging and display applications that benefit from bold, rounded forms and a strong sense of motion; for longer passages, it will read as intentionally emphatic and texture-heavy.
The tone feels retro and high-impact, combining a classic serif foundation with a lively, advertising-forward swagger. Its bold slant and rounded sculpting give it a warm, playful confidence—more showcard and poster than bookish editorial.
The design appears intended as a display serif that merges traditional serif cues with flared, sculpted terminals and a pronounced italic drive, aiming for maximum impact and character in large sizes. It prioritizes personality and bold presence over neutrality, targeting expressive titling and brand-forward typography.
In text, the strong italic motion and heavy color create a pronounced texture, making word shapes feel dynamic and slightly bouncy. Numerals match the same chunky, flared construction, keeping the set cohesive for headlines and short bursts of copy.
