A robust serif with strong stroke modulation and a consistent rightward slant. The forms are broad and generously proportioned, with bracketed serifs and rounded joins that keep the heavy weight from feeling rigid. Curves are full and slightly pinched at transitions, giving counters a teardrop-like rhythm, while terminals and serifs often taper to sharper points. The lowercase shows lively, semi-calligraphic construction with a single-storey “a” and “g”, and the overall texture reads bold, dark, and energetic without collapsing the internal spaces.
This face is well suited to headlines, cover titling, and branding where a bold serif voice is needed with extra movement and personality. It can also work for short editorial runs such as pull quotes or magazine openers, where its high-contrast, slanted forms add momentum and hierarchy.
The tone is assertive and expressive, combining traditional bookish cues with a more theatrical, display-forward swagger. It feels editorial and vintage-leaning, with enough motion and contrast to suggest hand-influenced lettering rather than purely mechanical typesetting.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation while amplifying drama through pronounced contrast, broad proportions, and a lively italicized construction. It prioritizes strong presence and expressive rhythm, aiming for impactful typography that still feels rooted in traditional serif conventions.
The numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and slanted stance, with prominent curves and strong weight distribution that favors impact over neutrality. In text samples the dark color and angled stress create a pronounced rhythm, best appreciated at sizes where counters and serifs have room to breathe.
