A lively italic display face with swelling, sculpted strokes and soft, wedge-like serifs that flare into teardrop terminals. Letterforms feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically regular, with curving spines, pronounced in–out modulation, and slightly uneven rhythm that creates a flowing, bouncy texture across words. Counters are generally open but often pinched by the swelling strokes, and rounded joins give the alphabet a smooth, liquid silhouette. Figures follow the same swollen, curvy logic, with distinctive hooks and flared ends that keep them firmly in the display realm.
Best suited to short display settings where its rhythmic swelling and retro character can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album/playlist artwork, and logo wordmarks. It works particularly well when you want a sense of movement and period flavor, rather than neutral readability in long text.
The overall tone is upbeat and theatrical, evoking a 60s–70s poster sensibility with a touch of cartoon charm. Its wavy motion and softened edges read as friendly and expressive, leaning more toward fun and nostalgia than seriousness.
The design appears intended to capture a groovy, hand-crafted display look, using flared terminals and wavy stroke behavior to create motion and personality. It prioritizes visual voice and era-evoking charm over strict regularity, making it ideal for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
The italic slant is reinforced by forward-leaning curves and asymmetrical terminals, which makes the line of text feel in constant motion. At smaller sizes the internal pinches and bulbous terminals can visually merge, so it benefits from generous sizing and spacing.
