A heavy, right-leaning serif with subtly flared stroke endings and softened, bracket-like transitions. Letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls and slightly pinched joins that create a lively, uneven rhythm across the line. Terminals feel wedge-like rather than crisp, and counters stay fairly open for the weight, helping maintain clarity in dense settings. Figures are similarly bold and curvy, with a consistent, slightly bouncy stance that matches the text forms.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a bold, characterful serif can carry the message. It can also work for short editorial callouts or deck text when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and expressive, combining a traditional serif base with a cartoonish, retro energy. Its slanted posture and swelling terminals give it momentum and a friendly, headline-forward personality rather than a formal or restrained feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, retro-leaning voice—pairing a traditional serif skeleton with flared endings and a consistent italic motion to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture.
In text, the strong diagonals and flared endings create a pronounced texture, and the heaviest areas can visually knit together at tight spacing. The design reads best when given room to breathe, where its distinctive terminals and rounded shapes can show clearly.
