A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted, flared terminals that give the strokes a carved, inked look. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracketed into the stems, with sharp joining points and occasional spur details that add bite to the silhouettes. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, while the overall set feels generously proportioned horizontally, producing a strong, rolling rhythm across words. Curves (C, G, S, a, e) show energetic tapering and pointed exits, and the numerals carry the same high-contrast, chiseled stress and angled finishing strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, magazine titling, and book cover typography where the strong contrast and flared finishing details can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a dramatic, editorial voice, while extended body copy may feel visually intense due to the weight and sharp detailing.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, balancing classic serif formality with a lively, almost poster-like flair. Its sharp terminals and dynamic italic movement lend a sense of drama and momentum, suggesting vintage editorial and display traditions rather than quiet text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-getting serif with a classical foundation and a stylized, flared finish, emphasizing motion and punch in headline-scale typography.
The alphabet shows consistent diagonal stress and a deliberate, stylized approach to terminals—many strokes end in pointed wedges rather than blunt cuts. The lowercase is especially characterful, with expressive curvature and prominent entry/exit strokes that create a strong word shape at larger sizes.
