A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and tapered stroke endings that create a sculpted, calligraphic feel. The letterforms are broad with a lively rhythm, combining rounded bowls and sharply cut interior counters. Stems often swell into wedge-like feet and short, bracketed serifs, while joins and apertures show tight, high-contrast shaping that reads almost like subtle ink traps at small notches. Capitals are robust and compactly modeled; lowercase maintains a steady x-height with energetic, curved descenders and distinctly shaped italics throughout.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, large headlines, brand marks, and packaging where its strong slant and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of editorial titling or pull quotes, but the dense, high-energy texture is likely to be most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and performance-oriented, mixing vintage editorial flair with a punchy, poster-ready attitude. Its strong slant and flared endings suggest motion and emphasis, giving text a confident, slightly flamboyant voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic, retro-leaning italic serif with flared finishing strokes—prioritizing impact, motion, and a distinctive silhouette over quiet neutrality. Its consistent, sculpted terminals and wide proportions suggest a focus on expressive display typography for prominent, high-contrast layouts.
The numerals follow the same wide, sculpted construction, with curving forms and tapered terminals that keep them cohesive with the letters. In text, the dense color and angled stress produce a distinctly graphic texture, making spacing and word shapes feel dynamic and compact.
