A heavy, high-contrast serif with strongly flared terminals and pronounced, sculpted stroke endings that feel more carved than mechanically drawn. The letters lean back in a reverse-italic posture, with lively, uneven rhythm and subtly variable character widths across the set. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracketing into the stems, while curves show generous swelling and tight, tapered joins that create sharp highlights and deep ink traps. Lowercase forms are compact and energetic with rounded bowls and distinctive terminals, and numerals are stout with bold top/bottom emphasis and dramatic curvature.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, display headlines, logotypes, and packaging where its dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for magazine cover lines or section headers when a retro, theatrical voice is desired.
The overall tone is flamboyant and vintage, evoking display typography from mid‑century posters and playful editorial headlines. Its reverse slant and flaring ends add a mischievous, showy character that reads as confident, slightly tongue-in-cheek, and highly attention-getting.
The design appears intended as a statement display face: combining reverse-leaning calligraphic motion with flared serif construction to produce bold silhouettes and a distinctly vintage, poster-ready texture.
Spacing and texture appear intentionally irregular for a hand-cut, poster-like color, with strong dark mass and distinctive silhouettes (notably in the S-curve letters and the diagonals). The reverse slant is consistent across cases and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, stylized voice.
