A very dark, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The outlines feel calligraphic, with tapered entry strokes and crisp, slightly pointed joins that create a lively rhythm. Capitals are compact and powerful, while the lowercase maintains a traditional silhouette with sturdy bowls and clear counters; overall spacing reads tight and energetic at display sizes. Numerals follow the same bold, high-contrast logic, with strong curves and assertive terminals that keep the color dense and consistent.
Best suited for headlines, posters, titles, and branding where a dense, high-impact italic voice is desirable. It can work well on packaging and campaign graphics that benefit from a classic-but-energetic serif presence; for long text, it will read more as an expressive accent than a primary body face.
The tone is bold and theatrical, balancing classic serif cues with a brisk, forward motion. It suggests speed and emphasis—more headline-driven than quiet or bookish—while retaining a vintage, print-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, display-oriented italic with traditional serif roots, using flared terminals and strong contrast to create speed, emphasis, and memorable word shapes. It prioritizes visual punch and stylized rhythm over neutrality.
The diagonal stress and flaring give letters a dynamic, almost engraved look, especially in rounded forms like C, G, O, and Q. The ampersand and curved lowercase forms reinforce a decorative, poster-oriented voice, where the thick strokes dominate and fine hairlines act as sharp accents.
