A robust, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that give strokes a sculpted, chiseled finish. The letterforms show a calligraphic impulse: curved joins, tapered entries, and slightly swelling stems that create a steady, rolling rhythm across words. Counters are compact but clear, with rounded bowls and soft interior shapes, while diagonal strokes (as in V, W, X, and the numerals) feel energetic and strongly angled. Overall spacing reads on the tight-to-normal side in the samples, producing dense, headline-friendly texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display contexts where its flared terminals and italic energy can read as intentional character. It can support branding and packaging that want a classic-but-lively voice, and it performs particularly well at medium to large sizes where the wedge details stay crisp.
The font conveys a warm, expressive take on tradition—more animated than formal, with a sporty, editorial confidence. Its strong slant and flared finishing strokes suggest motion and emphasis, lending a slightly dramatic, story-forward tone suited to attention-grabbing typography.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif structure with a more gestural, calligraphic motion, using flared endings to add punch and distinction. The goal appears to be strong display presence with an expressive rhythm that remains cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on distinctive terminal shapes for personality, with small, sharp wedges at the ends of many strokes that add crispness without high contrast. Round letters like O and Q appear sturdy and compact; the Q’s tail and the numerals maintain the same angled, flared vocabulary for consistency.
