A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, sculpted terminals. The letterforms show broad, weighty stems that taper sharply into thin joins and pointed beaks, creating a lively rhythm and strong diagonal flow. Serifs are expressive and often wedge-like with soft bracketing, while counters are compact and slightly irregular in a way that reads as intentionally calligraphic rather than geometric. The lowercase includes several looped and curled constructions (notably in a, g, j, y), and the figures share the same high-contrast, swash-forward drawing with rounded bowls and tapered joins.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and editorial titling where its contrast and swashy terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also add character to branding and packaging, especially for concepts that benefit from a classic-but-dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is energetic and theatrical, blending traditional bookish cues with a showy, headline-ready personality. Its sharp transitions, flared endings, and swashy details give it a dramatic, slightly vintage voice that feels confident and attention-seeking rather than restrained.
The design appears intended to fuse a traditional serif foundation with calligraphic energy, using flared terminals and sharp contrast to create a distinctive, high-impact texture for display and short-form text.
Stroke endings frequently narrow to pointed tips, and many curves terminate with small flicks that amplify motion in setting. The texture in text blocks appears dark and compact, with strong internal contrast and distinctive silhouettes that favor display impact over quiet neutrality.
