A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced stroke contrast and visibly flared endings that often resolve into sharp, wedge-like serifs. Curves are full and round, while joins and terminals frequently sharpen into tapered points, creating a crisp, carved rhythm. Counters stay relatively open despite the bold weight, and the overall texture reads dark and energetic, with noticeable width variation across glyphs. The lowercase shows more calligraphic behavior—single-storey forms and soft entry/exit strokes—while capitals feel more chiseled and display-oriented.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, poster titles, bold brand marks, and energetic packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or short editorial subheads where a dramatic italic presence is desirable.
The font conveys a confident, high-impact tone with a theatrical, old-world flourish. Its sharp terminals and lively italic motion suggest speed and drama, while the heavy contrast adds a premium, editorial feel.
Likely designed as a statement italic for attention-grabbing typography, combining classical serif cues with calligraphic motion and exaggerated terminals to produce a distinctive, high-energy silhouette.
Several letters feature distinctive swash-like terminals (notably in the lowercase), and the numerals share the same tapered, high-contrast construction, helping headlines and short lines feel cohesive. The strong diagonals and pointed details can create a busy texture at smaller sizes, but they add character and emphasis in larger settings.
