A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly flared stroke behavior. Stems feel carved and tapered, swelling into wedge-like serifs and teardrop terminals, with crisp, triangular cut-ins at joins that create sharp interior counters. Curves are broad and tense, and the overall rhythm alternates between thick, compact vertical masses and fine hairline links, producing a sculpted, high-impact texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive, chiseled detailing, keeping the palette consistent across the set.
Best suited to display work where the exaggerated contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—posters, magazine headlines, cover lines, branding marks, and expressive packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a dense, dramatic texture is desired.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing a vintage, poster-like presence with a confident, punchy slant. Its sharp cut-ins and flared endings suggest speed and showmanship, giving headlines a dramatic, slightly nostalgic swagger.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a stylized, carved serif language: strong contrast, flared endings, and sharp internal cut-ins that create a distinctive signature in headlines. The italic slant and sculpted terminals appear intended to add motion and attitude while retaining a traditional serif foundation.
In longer lines the strong italic angle and high contrast create a lively, animated color, while the deep notches and pointed terminals add distinctiveness at display sizes. The overall silhouette reads as energetic and assertive, with a consistent incised/engraved flavor rather than soft, rounded modeling.
