A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant, giving the forms a lively, forward rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into pointed, wedge-like tips, while many curves finish with teardrop or ball terminals. Counters are moderately open and the overall color is dense, with compact apertures and strong joins that create a confident, cohesive texture at display sizes. Figures show oldstyle influence through varying heights and curved, calligraphic shapes that match the italicized flow of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and other short-to-medium display settings where its heavy color and animated italic rhythm can lead the layout. It can also work for pull quotes, title pages, and packaging or branding that benefits from a traditional-but-flamboyant serif voice.
The tone is bold and theatrical with a distinctly vintage, print-forward character. It reads as editorial and headline-driven—more expressive than neutral—while still retaining enough traditional serif structure to feel familiar and authoritative.
Likely designed to deliver an energetic italic serif with strong contrast and unmistakable presence, borrowing from classic printing and calligraphic cues while staying solid and legible in large sizes. The overall construction prioritizes impact, rhythm, and personality over quiet neutrality.
The glyphs show noticeable stroke flare and tapering on diagonals and terminals, producing a slightly engraved or poster-like finish. Rounded letters and punctuation-like terminals add softness to the otherwise forceful weight, helping maintain readability in short blocks of text.
