A heavily inclined serif with pronounced contrast and a dynamic, calligraphic rhythm. Stems and arms broaden into flared, bracketed endings, producing wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals rather than flat slabs. Letterforms are generously proportioned with rounded joins and a slightly bouncy baseline feel; counters are open and the overall texture is dark and lively. Numerals and capitals show strong sculpting and curvature, with occasional ball-like terminals and soft, swelling strokes that emphasize the diagonal movement.
Well suited to headlines, poster typography, cover titles, and branding where a dramatic italic serif can carry the layout. It also fits packaging and label work, especially in retro-leaning or handcrafted contexts where strong silhouettes and expressive terminals are an asset.
The font projects a bold, vintage show-card energy—confident, animated, and a bit theatrical. Its swashy italics and flared finishes give it a handcrafted, editorial flavor that feels nostalgic and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or technical.
Likely designed as an impact-oriented display italic that blends classic serif structure with flared, calligraphic stroke modulation. The intent appears to be delivering strong personality and motion for short-form text while maintaining recognizable, traditional letter anatomy.
In paragraphs the heavy weight and angled stress create a rolling, wave-like line rhythm, making it best treated as a display face. The flared stroke endings and strong contrast create distinctive silhouettes that remain readable at larger sizes but can visually crowd when tightly set.
