A right-leaning serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and distinctly tapered, flared stroke endings. The letterforms are heavy and rounded overall, with wedge-like terminals, sharp inner joins, and a rhythmic, brush-influenced flow. Uppercase proportions feel broad and assertive, while the lowercase shows lively movement—noticeably in letters like a, g, j, and y—with occasional swash-like tails and angled entry strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic, producing a cohesive, display-forward texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and motion can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, title cards, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of editorial styling (pull quotes, section heads) and packaging where a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The tone is bold and performative, mixing classic serif cues with a flamboyant, show-card energy. Its steep contrast and lively italic motion read as stylish and slightly retro, evoking editorial drama, nightlife signage, or cinematic title work rather than quiet, utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through high contrast, pronounced tapering, and an animated italic stance. It prioritizes personality and theatrical rhythm over neutrality, aiming for memorable, attention-grabbing typography in large sizes.
Counters are relatively tight in the heaviest strokes, and the contrast produces sparkling highlights at joins and terminals. The italic construction is consistent across cases, giving lines of text a strong forward momentum and a slightly compressed, energetic rhythm.
