A heavy, calligraphic serif with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharply tapered and often flared, with frequent ball terminals and curled entry/exit strokes that give many letters a swash-like finish. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, while capitals feel compact and weighty with dramatic, sculpted curves. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, decorative logic, with rounded forms and conspicuous terminals that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage where its bold color and decorative terminals can carry personality. It can work for short editorial deck lines or pull quotes, but the tight counters and ornamental shapes are less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, combining a formal serif foundation with showy, flourish-driven details. It suggests classic signage and editorial drama—confident, slightly playful, and attention-seeking rather than restrained.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional italic serif with heightened contrast and ornamental terminals, delivering strong presence and a distinctive, old-world flair for attention-grabbing display settings.
Rhythm is lively and uneven in an intentional way: many glyphs introduce small curls, hooks, or bulbous terminals that create a textured line of type. The design’s strong stroke contrast and dense color make it most comfortable when given generous size and spacing, where the inner details and terminals can breathe.
