A heavy, italic serif with flared stroke endings and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms combine broad, swelling verticals with tapered joins and soft, rounded terminals, producing a chiseled yet cushioned silhouette. Counters are generally generous for the weight, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and lowercases like a, e, s) show a slightly swashy, brush-like modulation. Uppercase forms feel compact and blocky with pronounced flare, while the lowercase keeps a tall, prominent body and energetic diagonals; figures are bold and sculpted with notable curvature and angled stress in several shapes.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared endings and italic energy can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, cover art, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a strong, vintage-leaning voice is desired, but its dense weight and expressive details make it less ideal for long body text.
The overall tone is bold and characterful, mixing vintage display charm with a warm, approachable swagger. Its slanted stance and flared endings give it motion and theatricality, reading as expressive rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with a hand-influenced, flared construction—balancing sturdiness with movement. It aims to evoke a classic, slightly retro display feel while maintaining friendly, rounded contours for broad visual appeal.
The font’s texture alternates between sturdy vertical strokes and more animated, curving elements, creating a dynamic color on the line. Some glyphs introduce distinctive hooks and curls (such as the J, Q, and the lowercase y), which amplify personality and make the face feel more bespoke and headline-oriented.
