A heavy, right-slanted serif with pronounced contrast and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, slightly carved rhythm: thick verticals and diagonals are paired with thinner joins and tapered terminals, giving the silhouettes a sculpted, old-style flavor. The letterforms are broad and sturdy with tight internal counters, rounded bowls, and lively entry/exit strokes; several lowercase shapes (notably a, g, y, and s) lean into soft, swashy curves while maintaining a consistent, weighty color on the page.
Best suited to short to mid-length settings where strong personality is desired—magazine and newspaper headlines, posters, packaging, and book-cover titling. In text, it works most convincingly at larger sizes where the contrast, tight counters, and serif detail can stay clear.
The font reads as assertive and theatrical while still rooted in traditional book and newspaper letterforms. Its strong slant and dramatic weight lend an energetic, headline-ready presence with a slightly vintage, print-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama: a traditional foundation pushed into a heavier, more animated italic for attention-grabbing display and impactful editorial typography.
Capitals are blocky and emphatic, with clear serif structure and a noticeable forward motion in stems and crossbars. Figures are bold and rounded, with distinctive, slightly stylized shapes that match the letters’ calligraphic stress and help maintain an even texture in mixed text.
