A slanted serif with pronounced, flaring stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, brush-to-pen feel. Strokes show clear modulation, with sturdy verticals and tapered terminals that create a dynamic, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and the joins are smooth, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. The letterforms mix crisp wedge-like terminals with subtle swelling through curves, and the numerals share the same tapered, energetic construction.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its slant and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and brand marks that want a classic, crafted voice with high contrast and strong presence.
The overall tone is assertive and expressive, blending old-style warmth with a bold, display-ready presence. It reads as traditional yet animated—suggesting heritage, craft, and a touch of theatricality rather than a purely formal book face.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with amplified motion and emphasis, using flared terminals and calligraphic modulation to increase impact at display sizes while retaining a recognizable, classic structure.
In longer lines the strong diagonals and flared endings create a distinctive, slightly restless color that suits attention-grabbing typography. The silhouette remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, keeping a cohesive, branded look.
