A slanted, calligraphic display face with heavy, brush-like strokes and clearly tapered terminals. The forms show a carved or wedge-serif influence: ends often finish in triangular cuts, and curves swell then narrow, creating a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Letterfit and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, with compact, sturdy capitals and more fluid lowercase shapes. Counters are generally open and robust, but the stroke modulation and angled joins give the texture a textured, hand-rendered presence that reads best at larger sizes.
Well-suited for display typography where texture and character are desirable, such as posters, book covers, album art, labels, and branding accents. It works best for short headlines, names, and pull quotes where the irregular rhythm and tapered detailing can be appreciated without competing with dense reading.
The overall tone feels old-world and theatrical, like hand-lettered signage or book titling. Its energetic slant and chiseled terminals add a touch of drama and playfulness, balancing formality with a crafted, human warmth.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-drawn calligraphy with a bold, chiseled edge, offering a distinctive, historical-leaning voice for expressive titles and identity work.
Capitals carry a strong headline presence with pronounced weight and distinctive wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase leans more cursive in movement without connecting between letters. Numerals match the same brush-tapered construction, keeping the set visually cohesive.
