A robust, right-slanted serif with broad proportions and a distinctly flared, incised finish to many strokes. Stems and arms end in wedge-like, tapering terminals rather than flat slabs, creating sharp points and small notches at joins. The overall stroke weight is strong with restrained contrast, and the contours are smoothly rounded with occasional angular cuts that add bite. Uppercase forms read wide and steady, while the lowercase keeps a clear, readable structure with a single-storey a and a looped g; numerals are similarly hefty and open.
This font is best suited to headlines, cover lines, posters, and branding where its flared terminals and strong silhouettes can carry personality at size. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes, especially when you want a classic, print-leaning voice with extra momentum and bite.
The tone is energetic and slightly theatrical, combining old-style, carved-letter cues with a bold editorial presence. Its lively slant and spurred endings give it a spirited, vintage flavor—confident and attention-getting without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to blend readability with a distinctive, carved/inked texture—using flared, wedge-like endings and a purposeful slant to evoke historical serif forms while keeping a modern, high-impact weight and wide stance for display use.
Spacing appears generous for a display-forward serif, helping the heavy shapes avoid clogging, while the pointed terminals and flares create a textured rhythm across words. The italic posture feels integral to the design rather than a simple slant, with consistent directional stress and matching terminal behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures.
