A heavy, right-leaning serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. The strokes show clear contrast without becoming delicate, and the joins feel sturdy and slightly rounded, giving the forms a carved, inked solidity. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly integrated, with a consistent slanted stress across rounds like O, C, and G. Uppercase shapes are wide and weighty, while lowercase keeps a robust rhythm with a single-storey a and g and a prominent, descending f that adds forward motion.
Best suited to display applications where impact is required—headlines, subheads, cover lines, posters, and branding. It also fits packaging and label work that wants a classic serif voice with more punch than a typical text italic, while remaining legible at moderately large sizes.
The tone is bold and energetic with a distinctly traditional, print-forward feel. Its strong slant and dense color read as confident and persuasive, evoking vintage headlines, classic editorial typography, and old-school sports or poster lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with heightened emphasis: a strong italic slant, wide stance, and substantial weight for attention-grabbing typography. It aims to feel established and authoritative while still energetic enough for promotional and editorial use.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the dark texture from clogging, helping long words remain readable despite the weight. Numerals are sturdy and old-style in spirit, matching the italic flow and serif detailing of the letters for cohesive headline settings.
