A heavy, right-leaning serif with broad, sculpted forms and a distinctly flared finish to many strokes. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a crisp, hairline snap. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with rounded bowls and slightly pinched joins that create an energetic rhythm. The italic construction is pronounced, with dynamic entry/exit strokes and a consistent forward slant across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared terminals and bracketed serifs can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, and bold editorial decks. The strong slant and dense stroke weight also make it effective for branding and packaging that needs a confident, vintage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is bold and showy, combining old-style, ink-driven warmth with a punchy display presence. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a touch of retro personality that feels at home in headline-driven settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic display serif with strong impact while preserving an inked, traditional serif sensibility. Its flared stroke endings and robust curves suggest a goal of combining classic serif cues with a more theatrical, attention-forward texture.
Capitals show strong, graphic silhouettes and prominent inner shaping, while the lowercase leans into chunky curves and tapered terminals that keep the texture from becoming purely blocky. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, maintaining the same flared, wedge-ended detailing for a cohesive typographic color.
