A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared terminals and compact proportions. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with gentle swelling into wedge-like serifs and tapered joins that create a lively, inked-in feel. Counters are tight and shapes are slightly irregular, giving a hand-cut, poster-like rhythm; curves are rounded but end in crisp, pointed finishes. The overall texture is dense and energetic, with a forward slant and subtly uneven widths that keep lines of text animated.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared terminals and animated slant can be appreciated—such as posters, event titles, product packaging, logos, and short headlines. It can work for brief pull quotes or emphatic subheads, but the dense texture and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The font reads as cheerful and characterful, mixing vintage display energy with a casual, slightly mischievous tone. Its flared endings and springy italic posture suggest show posters, mid-century signage, and playful editorial headlines rather than quiet, utilitarian typography.
Likely designed to deliver strong display impact with a spirited, retro-leaning voice, using flared serifs and an italic posture to create motion and personality. The consistent stroke weight and compact, sturdy forms prioritize punchy presence and cohesive word shapes over neutral text economy.
Uppercase forms are robust and blocky with pronounced wedge serifs, while lowercase keeps a friendly, compact build and a strong slant. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the same flared, poster-oriented construction for consistent impact in mixed settings.
