This is a robust serif with a pronounced rightward slant and flared, wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, expanding finish. Curves are full and slightly condensed in places, while counters stay open enough to remain clear at display sizes. The drawing shows a calligraphic rhythm: diagonals and joins are energetic, with noticeable stroke modulation and strongly shaped entry/exit strokes. Serifs tend to be short and integrated, reading more as flares and brackets than crisp hairline feet, creating a cohesive, sculpted texture across words.
Best suited to display typography where its energetic slant and flared detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, poster titles, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when you want a warm, vintage-forward emphasis rather than quiet readability.
The overall tone is assertive and spirited, with a classic, slightly old-style flavor pushed into a more theatrical, headline-ready voice. Its italic motion and flared endings convey momentum and confidence, lending a nostalgic, editorial presence rather than a neutral, utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more animated, calligraphic italic flow, using flared terminals to create strong silhouettes and a distinctive, print-like texture. It prioritizes personality and presence for attention-grabbing typography in branding and editorial contexts.
The uppercase has sturdy proportions and a strong silhouette, while the lowercase leans into distinctive, somewhat idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curved forms and diagonals), producing a textured word image. Numerals match the headline emphasis, with rounded forms and emphatic terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
