A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that read as softly bracketed rather than rigid. Strokes swell toward terminals, creating a muscular, sculpted texture with moderate contrast and rounded joins. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while letterforms show lively, slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps the rhythm from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same bold, flared construction, with curvy figures and strong diagonal emphasis.
Best suited to display settings where its strong slant and flared serifs can carry personality—headlines, advertising, posters, and branding systems. It can also work for short editorial pulls, intros, or packaging callouts where a bold, energetic serif is desired, but it will be most comfortable at larger sizes due to its dense weight.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a vintage print feel with a contemporary, high-impact presence. Its slanted stance and swelling terminals give it a sense of motion and confidence, making the voice feel bold, extroverted, and a touch nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif vocabulary, using flare and taper to keep heavy forms feeling fast and expressive. It balances tradition and punch, aiming for a distinctive, recognizable silhouette in display typography.
The font’s texture is dense and dark, but the flare-driven terminals and tapered diagonals add sparkle and directionality across lines. In running text the italic angle and strong weight produce a distinctive, headline-forward color rather than a quiet bookish gray.
