A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like endings that broaden into sharp terminals. The letters show a calligraphic construction: thick verticals, tapered joins, and rounded ball terminals on several forms, paired with crisp, pointed beaks and hooks. Counters are compact and the overall color is dark and emphatic, with a lively rhythm created by angled stress and varied interior shapes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same bold, carved feel, with strong diagonals and energetic curves that keep the texture animated in text.
Best suited for display settings where its strong contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, posters, book jackets, and branding marks. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or subheads, but its dense, expressive forms are most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and expressive, suggesting classic display typography with a slightly playful, swashy edge. It reads as theatrical and attention-grabbing, with a vintage editorial flavor that feels suited to headlines and statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, italicized display voice with calligraphic energy and flared serif detailing, prioritizing character and silhouette over neutrality. Its construction suggests an aim for dramatic emphasis and a classic, print-forward presence in titles and branding.
Curved characters show pronounced swelling and tapering, and many terminals resolve into teardrops or sharp, flared points, giving the face a sculpted, inked quality. Spacing appears designed for display impact, producing a dense, high-ink texture in paragraphs while preserving distinct silhouettes for each letter.
