A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and hairline joins, shaped by a flared, calligraphic logic. Strokes swell and taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals and compact serifs, creating a distinctly sculpted, chiseled texture. The letterforms are broad and display-oriented, with energetic curves, pointed inner apertures, and occasional teardrop-like counters that emphasize motion. Numerals follow the same swelling–tapering rhythm, giving the set a cohesive, headline-forward color.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its flared terminals and contrast can carry visual impact. It can also work for magazine or editorial titling, pull quotes, and promotional graphics, particularly when paired with a simpler text face for long reading.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage show-card flavor and a touch of editorial glamour. The sharp tapers and swashy contours make it feel expressive and energetic rather than restrained, lending a sense of drama and movement even in short words.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a calligraphic, flared serif voice—combining broad proportions, sharp tapering, and dramatic contrast to create a distinctive, headline-centric texture. It prioritizes character and motion over neutrality, aiming for memorable, stylish wordforms in display typography.
In text, the strong diagonals and flared terminals produce a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that reads best at larger sizes where the hairline connections and sharp points can stay crisp. The design’s distinctive terminals and high contrast create prominent word-shapes, making it especially attention-grabbing in titles and short passages.
