A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and terminals sharpen into subtle points, creating a lively, sculpted silhouette. The letterforms keep a sturdy, compact rhythm, with firm verticals, slightly swelling strokes, and tapered entries/exits that give the outlines a continuous, drawn momentum. Figures are similarly weighty and slightly narrowed, with clear, robust counters suited to display sizing.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where its flared terminals and italic momentum can carry personality. It also works well for packaging and label-style applications that benefit from a traditional-yet-punchy voice. In longer passages, it will read strongest at larger sizes where the sculpted details and internal counters remain open.
The overall tone is assertive and nostalgic, evoking mid-century editorial and poster typography with a confident, slightly athletic slant. Its energetic italic motion and chiseled terminals add drama and urgency without becoming overly ornamental. The result feels classic and dependable, but with enough snap to signal headlines and emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif authority with a dynamic, contemporary slant, using flared endings and chiseled terminals to create a distinctive, energetic texture. It aims for high impact and strong word-shape recognition, favoring expressive display character over quiet neutrality.
Uppercase shapes read solid and monumental, while the lowercase introduces more swing through angled terminals and lively curves, increasing the sense of motion in text. The consistent flaring at stroke ends creates a distinctive texture across words, producing strong word shapes and a bold typographic color on the page.
