A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Thick, sculpted main strokes taper quickly into hairline connections, with terminals that flare and pinch in a way that reads like brush pressure rather than rigid geometry. Counters are generous and rounded, joins show sharp cut-ins and wedge-like notches, and the overall silhouette is lively and slightly irregular in width, giving words a rolling, animated texture. Serifs and stroke endings feel tapered and horned rather than flat, contributing to a dynamic, display-forward texture.
Best suited to large-size settings such as headlines, posters, magazine covers, and branding where its sculpted contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for punchy subheads, pull quotes, and packaging titles, but will typically be too characterful for long, continuous reading at smaller sizes.
The tone is dramatic and stylish, with a vintage editorial flair that suggests classic show posters and fashion headlines. Its energetic slant and sculpted contrast feel assertive and expressive, adding a sense of motion and spectacle to short phrases.
The design appears intended as an expressive display serif that blends calligraphic pressure with flared, wedge-like detailing to create a bold, theatrical voice. Its goal is to deliver instant personality and movement in short text, emphasizing shape, contrast, and rhythm over neutrality.
Uppercase forms are stately and sculptural, while the lowercase introduces more overt swashes and angular cut-ins that heighten the sense of movement. Numerals follow the same expressive contrast and tapering, staying bold and attention-grabbing at large sizes.
