A heavy, right-leaning display serif with flared stroke endings and softly sculpted, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms have broad proportions and a tight, energetic rhythm, with rounded bowls and compact counters that keep the texture dense at larger sizes. Serifs are short and integrated into the strokes rather than sharply bracketed, producing a molded, carved feel. Diagonals and arms often finish in pointed, slightly upturned tips, and curves show a gentle swelling that adds motion without introducing noticeable contrast.
Best used for large-scale display settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and promotional graphics where bold texture and motion are desirable. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its dense counters and stylized terminals make it less suitable for long text.
The overall tone feels lively and retro, with an upbeat swagger that reads as friendly rather than formal. Its slanted stance and flared endings create a sense of speed and emphasis, making it well suited to expressive, attention-grabbing messaging.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, animated serif voice that combines classic display cues with a streamlined, forward-leaning silhouette. The flared terminals and compact interior spaces suggest a focus on impact and character over neutrality.
Uppercase forms are especially stout and poster-like, while lowercase maintains a strong forward drive with single-storey shapes and rounded, buoyant forms. Numerals match the same chunky, flared construction, keeping headlines cohesive across alphanumerics.
