A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and visibly flared stroke endings. Stems swell into tapered, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs, creating a carved, brush-influenced feel rather than a rigid, mechanical construction. Bowls and counters run generously wide, with rounded joins and a lively baseline rhythm; some letters show subtly irregular, hand-drawn curvature that keeps the texture active in text. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic with sturdy vertical presence and tapered finishing strokes.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, magazine features, posters, and brand marks where the flared serifs and high-contrast strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy when generous spacing and sizing are used to preserve clarity and the font’s characteristic rhythm.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a classic editorial flavor and a touch of vintage signage energy. Its slant and flared terminals add momentum and personality, giving headlines a confident, slightly flamboyant voice without tipping into script.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with expressive, calligraphic modulation—using flared terminals, strong contrast, and a pronounced italic slant to create a distinctive, attention-getting display voice. It prioritizes personality and impact while maintaining recognizable serif letterforms for readable, headline-oriented typography.
In the alphabet grid, uppercase forms read broad and stable while lowercase shapes feel more calligraphic, especially in letters like a, g, and y where terminals curl and taper. The font’s strong contrast and wide inner spaces produce a dark, high-impact color at display sizes, while the lively stroke modulation adds a distinctive texture across longer lines.
