A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly modulated strokes. Stems and terminals flare and taper with a brush-like logic, producing wedge-shaped serifs, sharp triangular joins, and occasional ball-like terminals. The design feels intentionally irregular in rhythm: widths vary noticeably across letters, counters are generous in round forms, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show crisp, blade-like endings. Numerals follow the same expressive contrast and italic energy, with curvy figures and pointed terminals that reinforce the dynamic texture.
Best suited to headlines, large subheads, and short passages where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for magazine covers, posters, and brand marks that want an energetic, vintage-leaning editorial voice, and it can add personality to packaging or event collateral when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, balancing classic serif cues with a punchy, display-minded swagger. Its sharp cuts and swelling strokes read as confident and theatrical, suggesting vintage editorial headlines or stylized branding rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to merge italic calligraphic movement with a bold, high-contrast serif structure, emphasizing expressive terminals and a varied, display-oriented rhythm. It prioritizes personality, texture, and impact over neutrality, aiming to stand out in prominent typographic roles.
In continuous text the face creates a lively, slightly rolling baseline impression due to the slant and the varying letter widths, yielding a dense, rhythmic color. Distinctive forms like the curly lowercases and the angular, flared terminals make it especially characterful at larger sizes, where the contrast and tapered details remain the main visual signature.
