A lively italic serif with broad, open proportions and a strongly right-leaning construction. Strokes stay fairly even in weight while showing subtle, brush-like modulation and occasional roughened edges, giving the outlines a hand-drawn feel. Terminals frequently flare or fork into small spurs, and many joins resolve into pointed wedges rather than smooth curves. The lowercase is built around a tall x-height with wide bowls and generous counters; ascenders and descenders are present but not overly long, keeping the texture compact despite the width. Numerals and capitals follow the same energetic, flared-terminal logic, producing a consistent, slightly rugged rhythm in continuous text.
Best suited to display contexts where its flared, spurred terminals and energetic italic stance can be appreciated—brand marks, packaging systems, poster headlines, editorial titles, and short promotional copy. It can work for brief text blocks at comfortable sizes, especially where an expressive, retro-leaning tone is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and characterful, balancing readability with a spirited, handmade edge. It suggests mid-century display typography and contemporary branding that wants motion and personality rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend an italic serif framework with decorative spurs and a hand-rendered finish, creating a distinctive voice that reads quickly while still feeling crafted and expressive.
The wide set and prominent italic slant create strong forward momentum, while the spurred terminals add a decorative snap at word endings and along stems. In paragraphs the texture appears airy due to the wide letterforms and large interior spaces, but the lively terminals keep it from feeling static.
