An italic serif with robust, tapered strokes that widen into flared terminals and wedge-like serifs. Curves are full and slightly asymmetrical, with a lively, calligraphic modulation that creates a rolling rhythm across words. Counters are generally open and generous for the weight, while joins and shoulders stay smooth rather than sharp, giving the outlines a softened, inked feel. Uppercase forms read compact and sturdy, and the lowercase maintains steady proportions with consistent slant and distinctive, angled entry and exit strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, packaging, and identity work where an expressive italic voice is desirable. It can also work for editorial subheads or short blocks of text when a spirited, retro-leaning emphasis is needed.
The tone is energetic and personable, with a vintage advertising flavor and a hand-inked warmth. It feels confident and attention-getting without becoming rigid, lending a slightly playful, theatrical character to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a calligraphic, flared-stroke finish, delivering a bold italic that feels crafted and expressive rather than purely mechanical. Its forms prioritize impact and personality, while keeping letter shapes familiar enough for clear headline reading.
The numerals and capitals share the same tapered, flared finishing, helping mixed text feel cohesive. The slanted construction and lively terminals create strong directional movement, so spacing and word shapes appear animated even at moderate sizes.
