A slanted, high-contrast serif with prominent, square slab-like terminals that read as typewriter-inspired “feet” on many strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly swollen while joins stay crisp, creating a lively rhythm between hairline connections and heavier horizontals/terminals. Several letters show ball-like terminals and teardrop finishes, and the overall silhouette mixes sturdy slabs with occasional calligraphic thinning, giving the face a distinctive, mechanical-yet-animated texture. Proportions are moderately compact with a straightforward cap height and a text-friendly x-height, while the slant and contrast keep the color energetic across lines.
Best suited for short to medium-length setting where its strong terminal rhythm and contrast can carry the voice—headlines, poster copy, cover titling, and brand or packaging accents. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers in editorial layouts when you want a distinctive, retro-leaning italic presence.
The tone feels vintage and playful, like a hybrid of typewriter imprint and italic editorial display. Its emphatic terminals and bouncy details add personality and a lightly theatrical flair, making text look witty and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The likely intent is to blend typewriter-coded slab terminals with an italic, high-contrast drawing to create a characterful display text face. The repeated flat terminals act as a signature motif, while the lively modulation and rounded finishes keep it expressive and memorable.
The design leans on repeated flat-ended terminals for consistency, but varies stroke modulation and finishing details enough to create a hand-tuned, expressive feel. In running text the strong terminal pattern produces a dotted, rhythmic texture that becomes a defining feature, especially in caps and in letters with many verticals.
