A heavy, right-leaning serif with low contrast and pronounced flared stroke endings. Stems broaden into wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a sculpted, carved feel rather than crisp hairlines. Counters are open and round, with a steady, slightly expanded set width and a robust texture in text. The italics are built into the construction (not merely slanted), showing calligraphic shaping in joins and terminals, plus occasional notch-like details where strokes meet that add bite at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, italic serif voice is desired. It can work for short editorial titles, packaging callouts, and energetic identity systems that benefit from a bold, flared silhouette rather than delicate typographic nuance.
The font reads as assertive and energetic, with a vintage-leaning, poster-like presence. Its flared terminals and italic momentum create a sense of motion and showmanship, balancing classic serif cues with a more sporty, headline-forward attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with built-in motion and a distinctive flared finish. It emphasizes impact and personality over neutrality, aiming for memorable display typography that remains readable in short text bursts.
The numerals match the bold, flared language and feel built for emphasis, while the round forms (like O/o) stay sturdy and even. In the sample text, the weight and terminal shaping create a strong rhythm and a distinctive, slightly swashy texture that can become dominant if tightly set.
