A heavy, flared serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes broaden into sculpted ends, giving letters a carved, inked feel with lively, slightly backward-leaning energy. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and terminals show subtle curve and bracketing rather than blunt slabs. The overall rhythm is expansive and display-oriented, with varied letter widths and bold, confident silhouettes that stay cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated—titles, posters, and expressive branding. It can add character to packaging and editorial display moments, especially when a retro-leaning, high-impact voice is desired. For longer reading, it works most comfortably in short bursts such as pull quotes, section headers, and signage.
The tone is jovial and theatrical, mixing vintage poster charm with a slightly mischievous bounce. Its energetic forms read as friendly and attention-seeking rather than formal, lending a sense of personality and motion to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual personality through flared stroke endings and dramatic contrast, creating a bold display serif that feels handcrafted and animated. Its proportions and lively rhythm aim to stand out quickly and convey a distinctive, nostalgic display flavor.
Lowercase forms emphasize roundness and soft interior shapes, while caps keep a sturdy, monumental presence through flared finishing strokes. Numerals echo the same swelling terminals and curvy transitions, maintaining a consistent, headline-first character across the set.
