A very heavy, right-slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are wide and generously proportioned, with braced, sculpted serifs and frequent teardrop/ball terminals that create soft, rounded endpoints. Curves are full and elastic, counters are open for the weight, and joins show a chiseled, ink-trap-like shaping that keeps forms crisp at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same energetic, forward-leaning stance, giving the overall texture a dense but animated color.
Best suited to large-scale text where its contrast and sculpted details can read clearly—headlines, posters, short editorial features, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a retro-spirited, high-energy serif with a distinctive italic voice.
The tone feels bold and extroverted, with a retro, headline-driven personality. Its bouncy curves and rounded terminals add approachability, while the strong contrast and assertive stance keep it punchy and attention-getting.
The design appears intended as a display serif that blends traditional serif structure with expressive, brush-like modulation and rounded terminals. It aims to deliver impact and motion while retaining enough serif convention to feel familiar and readable in short bursts.
The italic slant is integral to the design rather than a simple oblique, and the rounded terminals are consistently used to soften corners and sharpen rhythm. Spacing appears tuned for display: the heavy weight and wide forms create a strong presence, while the lively stroke modulation prevents it from feeling blocky.
