A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and finer joins, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are braced and slightly flared, with sharp terminals and a generally wedge-like profile that reinforces forward motion. Proportions read on the broad side with sturdy capitals and round, weighty bowls; counters stay relatively open despite the dense stroke weight. Lowercase forms show lively, cursive-leaning construction with prominent entry strokes and occasional swash-like endings, producing an energetic rhythm in words and lines.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the dramatic contrast, braced serifs, and animated lowercase details can be appreciated. It works well for editorial headlines, cover lines, posters, and bold brand expressions that want a classic serif voice with extra momentum and flair.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, blending traditional bookish serif cues with a punchy, display-forward swagger. It feels suited to statements—confident, slightly vintage, and attention-grabbing—while still retaining a conventional serif backbone.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading with heightened contrast and an emphatic italic stance, prioritizing impact and personality over neutrality. Its consistent slant, assertive weight, and lively lowercase suggest a focus on distinctive display typography for expressive messaging.
The italic slant is consistent and strong, and the weight distribution creates pronounced dark areas in text blocks. Curved characters (like S, C, and O) appear especially sculpted, and the numerals carry the same bold, slanted, high-contrast treatment for cohesive setting in headings and pull quotes.
