A heavy, right-leaning serif with lively calligraphic construction and pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and razor-thin joins and hairlines. Stems and diagonals finish in flared, tapered terminals with small bracketed serifs, creating sharp wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. The forms are wide and animated, with bulging curves, pinched transitions, and occasional notches that feel like ink traps at tight joins. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, while the overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in a deliberately hand-cut way.
Best suited to display settings where its energetic stroke contrast and flared endings can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, editorial openers, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or event materials, but the dense weight and sharp joins make it less ideal for long text at small sizes.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing vintage display flavor with a mischievous, poster-like exuberance. Its sweeping italic motion and sharp terminals give it a sense of speed and drama, while the rounded, bouncy proportions keep it approachable and slightly playful.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, slanted display typography with a carved, calligraphic feel—combining flared serif cues with dramatic contrast and wide, animated letterforms for attention-grabbing use.
Uppercase shapes show strong diagonals and pointed joins that emphasize motion, and several letters exhibit exaggerated beaks and spurs that read well at larger sizes. Numerals share the same high-contrast, flared finishing, with a distinctly display-oriented presence.
