A very heavy, right-slanted serif with pronounced contrast and strongly tapered, flared terminals that behave like brush-cut serifs. The letterforms show sharp wedge-like entry and exit strokes, deep triangular notches, and tight counters that create dense black shapes with lively internal sparkle. Curves are round and full while joins often pinch, giving an engraved/calligraphic rhythm rather than a purely constructed one. The proportions feel compact and punchy, with energetic diagonals and a forward-driving baseline presence.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, packaging, and brand marks where its dense weight and high-contrast stroke pattern can be appreciated. It performs especially well at larger sizes in short bursts of text, adding personality and emphasis to titles, pull quotes, and promotional copy.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classic editorial sophistication with a vintage showcard flair. Its high-contrast strokes and swashy details read as assertive and stylish, evoking headline drama and a sense of spectacle rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an italic, high-contrast serif voice—pairing traditional serif cues with flared, brush-like finishing to create a distinctive display texture. It prioritizes character, motion, and strong silhouette recognition for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward sharp, chiseled silhouettes, while lowercase introduces more movement through curved tails and teardrop-like terminals. Numerals are equally weighty and stylized, designed to match the italic slant and high-impact texture of the letters.
