A very heavy italic display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly modeled, flared stroke endings. Forms are wide and energetic, with sharp triangular entry cuts and sweeping terminals that create a fast rightward flow. Counters are tight in the heavier letters, and the curves show crisp, high-contrast transitions, especially in rounds and diagonals. Serifs and terminals often taper into pointed or beaked shapes, giving the design a carved, sculptural feel rather than a blunt, mechanical finish.
Best used at display sizes where the dramatic contrast and swashy terminals can read cleanly—posters, magazine headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can add a vintage or luxe tone to editorial callouts and short phrases, but is likely to feel dense and busy in long-running text.
The font projects a bold, showy confidence with a vintage-advertising flavor. Its high-contrast italic movement and sharp terminals feel theatrical and attention-seeking, suggesting glamour and a slightly mischievous, headline-forward personality.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that combines classic high-contrast modeling with punchy, flared endings and a strong italic impulse. It prioritizes impact, motion, and stylized detail for attention-grabbing typography rather than neutral readability.
Round letters (like O/Q and 6/8/9) emphasize deep contrast and a lively internal rhythm, while diagonals and arms (K/V/W/X/Y) show crisp, blade-like finishing. Numerals echo the same italic slant and dramatic contrast, making them suitable for prominent use rather than quiet tabular settings.
