This typeface combines heavy, rounded letterforms with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes show clear modulation, with thick main stems and thinner connecting strokes, and many joins are softened into smooth, bulb-like curves. Serifs appear as flared, wedge-like endings rather than rigid slabs, giving the forms a sculpted, inked feel. Counters are relatively tight and openings are often narrowed, producing a dense, poster-like texture; the lowercase includes lively, slightly swashy details in letters such as a, f, j, y, and z. Figures follow the same bold, angled construction and read as display numerals rather than text figures.
Best suited to large sizes where its stroke modulation, flared terminals, and tight counters can read clearly—such as posters, magazine headers, bold pull quotes, logos, and packaging. It can also work for short, emphatic lines in promotional and entertainment contexts where a dynamic, retro-leaning tone is desired.
The overall tone is bold and showy, with a vintage, headline-driven energy that feels theatrical and slightly flamboyant. Its slanted stance and swelling curves suggest motion and emphasis, creating an assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that blends serif structure with energetic, calligraphic flare. Its wide, heavy silhouettes and tapered terminals are tuned to create strong impact and a distinctive, vintage-forward personality in headlines and branding.
Spacing and rhythm in running text skew toward compact, with strong black shapes dominating and fine hairlines appearing mainly in the internal transitions and terminals. The italic angle and flared endings create a consistent forward drive across both uppercase and lowercase.
