A slanted, brush-driven roman with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like terminals. Strokes show a broad-pen/brush logic with sharp entries, tapered exits, and occasional ink-trap-like notches where joins tighten. Uppercase forms are compact and angular with lively spur-like details, while lowercase is more fluid and slightly more looped, maintaining a consistent rightward lean. Counters are moderately tight and the overall color is dark and assertive, with irregular stroke widths that keep the rhythm energetic rather than mechanical.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the dramatic contrast and flourished terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event pieces, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and invitation-style graphics when used with generous tracking and strong size contrast against simpler companion text.
The face reads as theatrical and expressive, balancing formal calligraphic tradition with a punchy, poster-ready attitude. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals suggest speed and flourish, giving text a confident, slightly vintage show-card tone.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered calligraphy with a bold, showy presence—capturing the spontaneity of a brush while keeping letterforms disciplined enough for cohesive word shapes in display typography.
Round glyphs (like O, o, and numerals) are drawn with strong contrast and pointed stress, producing a chiselled, oval feel rather than a smooth geometric round. Descenders (notably g, j, y) add movement through long, tapered strokes, and the numerals carry the same brush contrast and angled finishing, helping them sit naturally alongside the letters.
