A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy stems, pronounced bracketed serifs, and a compact, punchy texture. The letterforms mix crisp slab structure with softened joins and subtle flare at terminals, creating an inked, slightly calligraphic impression rather than a purely geometric build. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with rounded interior shapes and occasional teardrop-like endings in the lowercase that add motion. Numerals and caps feel solid and display-oriented, with confident horizontals and a strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and prominent display settings where the heavy slabs and italic movement can carry personality—posters, packaging, branding marks, and editorial pull quotes. In running text it will read strong and expressive, especially with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and retro-leaning, combining bold headline authority with a friendly, expressive slant. It evokes classic editorial and poster typography—confident, slightly theatrical, and built to grab attention without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to blend robust slab-serif impact with an italic, more human rhythm—delivering classic display power while adding warmth and motion through softened terminals and expressive lowercase details.
The lowercase shows the most personality, with curved entry/exit strokes and more handwritten modulation than the caps, which read more traditionally slab-based. The rhythm is intentionally varied, giving text a lively, bouncy color in larger sizes.
