A bold, slanted serif with strongly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden into the terminals. The forms are wide with generous interior counters, and the stroke modulation is moderate, creating a sturdy, high-contrast-enough rhythm without becoming delicate. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals show subtle sharpening that gives a slightly carved, inked impression. Numerals and capitals read as substantial and display-leaning, with lively diagonals and a consistent forward-leaning texture across the set.
Best suited for headlines, logotypes, and short-to-medium editorial settings where a bold italic serif voice is desired. It can work for magazine features, advertising, packaging, and event collateral, especially when the design benefits from a strong, slightly retro typographic personality.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, mixing a classic, old-style serif warmth with a more extroverted, poster-ready swagger. Its slant and flared endings add motion and a hint of retro editorial flair, making text feel emphatic and charismatic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic serif with a broad stance and flared finishing, prioritizing impact and a distinctive word shape. It emphasizes momentum, presence, and a cohesive display texture rather than understated, body-text neutrality.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, and the wide proportions help maintain clarity in dense lines. The flared terminals and wedge serifs create a distinctive silhouette that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving the type a recognizable “stamp” in headlines.
