A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show a brush-influenced, calligraphic logic: thick downstrokes, slimmer hairlines, and angled joins that create a lively, forward rhythm. Serifs are compact and bracketed, often resolving into pointed, flared ends that emphasize motion. The overall color is dense and dark, with wide letterforms and slightly irregular, hand-drawn edges that keep it from feeling mechanically rigid.
Best suited to large sizes where the crisp contrast and tapered serifs can read clearly—posters, mastheads, punchy editorial headings, and brand marks that want a spirited, vintage-leaning voice. It can also work for short emphatic pull quotes or packaging callouts, but its strong slant and dense weight make it less appropriate for long-form body text.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a vintage display flavor that suggests tradition filtered through showy, headline-ready drama. Its steep slant and sharp terminals add a sense of speed and bravura, reading as confident and a bit theatrical rather than quiet or purely literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, italic serif with a brushy, hand-cut character—combining classical serif cues with a display-oriented, high-energy silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters maintain strong contrast with visibly narrowed counters, while diagonals and curved strokes carry subtle swelling that reinforces a brush-like construction. Numerals match the bold, italicized stance and keep the same pointed, tapered finishing, helping text blocks feel consistently dynamic.
