A heavy, right-slanted serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly sculpted stroke model. Stems and joins broaden into flared, wedge-like endings, producing sharp, triangular serifs and crisp internal notches. Curves are generous and slightly squashed, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Terminals often finish in teardrops or small balls (notably in forms like the lowercase a, f, j, and 9), giving the design a carved, calligraphic finish. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in their apertures, with a dynamic, forward-leaning rhythm across words.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, magazine covers, and brand marks where its flared serifs and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a strong, vintage-leaning voice, while longer text would typically require generous size and spacing for comfort.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining classic serif dignity with an energetic, sporty slant. It reads as assertive and attention-grabbing, with a vintage editorial flair that feels suited to headlines and display messaging.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a refined, calligraphic serif flavor—pairing robust weight and wide presence with elegant tapering and decorative terminals. The intent reads as a display serif that signals confidence and style while remaining legible in short blocks of copy.
The italic construction feels integral rather than an oblique, with clear modulation through curves and tapered joins. The design shows strong visual consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the prominent terminals add a decorative edge that becomes more noticeable as size increases.
