A very heavy, right-leaning serif with sharply modeled, high-contrast strokes and pronounced flare at terminals. Serifs and stroke endings often form pointed, wedge-like shapes that read as chiseled or blade-cut, giving the letters a sculpted look. Curves are broad and taut, counters are relatively compact for the weight, and joins frequently show crisp angles rather than soft transitions. The texture in paragraphs is bold and rhythmic, with lively diagonals and occasional notch-like details at terminals that create a slightly faceted silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its sharp terminals and heavy contrast can be appreciated—headlines, posters, magazine covers, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial bursts or pull quotes, but its strong personality and dense texture make it less suited to long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is dramatic and theatrical, mixing a classical serif foundation with showy, swash-like energy. It feels vintage and editorial—confident and attention-seeking—while the sharp terminals add a slightly mischievous, poster-ready edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with a flamboyant italic voice, combining classical proportions with flared, chiseled terminals for a distinctive display texture. The consistent wedge and notch detailing suggests an emphasis on dramatic rhythm and stylized impact over neutrality.
Uppercase forms emphasize strong diagonals (notably in A, N, V, W, X, Y), while round letters like O and Q appear deeply modeled, with the Q featuring a prominent, stylized tail. Numerals follow the same carved, high-contrast logic, with distinctive diagonal cuts and pointed terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
