A heavy, right-slanted serif with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are flared and gently bracketed, giving terminals a wedge-like, carved finish rather than a sharp hairline. The outlines show subtle tapering and soft joins that suggest a calligraphic underpinning, while counters stay relatively compact at this weight. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed by their thick internal structure, and numerals are equally robust with clear, simple silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where its heavy color and slanted motion can carry impact. It works well for editorial display, packaging, and branding—especially for energetic or heritage-leaning themes—where strong contrast against generous whitespace is available.
The tone is bold and emphatic with a classic, print-forward character. Its flared endings and steady slant add a dynamic, slightly vintage energy that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate or formal.
Likely designed as a display italic that combines traditional serif structure with flared, wedge-like terminals to increase presence and momentum. The goal appears to be high-impact readability with a distinctive, vintage-tinged texture for branding and editorial emphasis.
The rhythm is energetic: strong diagonals, pronounced terminals, and tight apertures create a punchy texture in text. At larger sizes the flared details add personality; at smaller sizes the dense color and compact counters can make paragraphs feel weighty.
