A forceful italic serif with strongly flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp, triangular serifs that often feel carved rather than bracketed. The stroke structure shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with heavy main strokes and hairline-like joins and entry/exit strokes that taper to points. Curves are full and slightly oblique, while many joins end in crisp beaks and spikes (notably on diagonals and arm endings), giving the letterforms a sculpted, high-energy texture. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the overall silhouette reads as dense and dark with lively internal flicks and cut-ins.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine tapers and pointed flares can be appreciated—headlines, posters, cover lines, and brand marks that need dramatic emphasis. It can also work for short editorial standfirsts or pull quotes when you want a dense, expressive texture, but it will be most comfortable in display roles rather than long reading text.
The font projects a bold, stage-ready elegance—part classic display serif, part calligraphic poster italic. Its sharp flares and dramatic contrast create a sense of motion and spectacle, suggesting vintage advertising, headline bravura, and editorial punch. The tone is confident and slightly ornate, with a hint of retro flair.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a flared, wedge-serif construction and pronounced italic movement, pairing classic serif cues with a bold, poster-oriented presence. Its detailing emphasizes gesture and contrast to create memorable word shapes for attention-driven typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward formal, inscriptional shapes with exaggerated entry strokes and pointed terminals, while lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement and asymmetry. Numerals share the same flared, wedge-ended construction, keeping the texture consistent in mixed settings. Spacing appears tuned for display, with strong word shapes and prominent diagonals that can create an energetic, slightly spiky rhythm in dense text.
