A heavy, right-leaning serif with broad proportions and soft, rounded geometry. Stems and arms finish in flared, beak-like terminals that read as compact wedge serifs, with occasional notches and ink-trap–like cuts where strokes meet. Counters are generous and mostly oval, while diagonals and joins feel sculpted rather than mechanical, giving the forms a lively, chunky rhythm. Lowercase is large and sturdy, with short extenders and a single-storey a and g; the overall texture is dense but stays readable due to open interiors and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display use where its bold, sculpted serifs and lively slant can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics. It also fits sports or entertainment titling and retro-inspired editorial callouts where a strong, characterful voice is needed.
The tone is energetic and nostalgic, evoking mid-century signage and punchy headline typography. Its slanted stance and swollen forms create a sense of motion and confidence, while the rounded edges keep it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, vintage-leaning personality, combining flared serif endings and rounded, inflated shapes for strong recognition at a glance.
The numerals and capitals share the same swelling terminals and cut-in joins, helping the set feel cohesive in large sizes. The italic angle is pronounced enough to add dynamism without turning the letterforms into a script-like flow.
