A heavy, slanted serif with pronounced contrast and a sculpted, calligraphic construction. Strokes show tapered joins and swelling terminals, with serifs that feel bracketed and slightly flared rather than blunt. Curves are generous and rounded (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while diagonal letters and arms carry sharp, chiseled cuts that give the outlines a lively, inked rhythm. The lowercase leans more expressive, with single-storey forms and occasional swashy movement in descenders and terminals, creating a distinctly display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, book and album covers, packaging, and branding marks where a strong, vintage-leaning personality is desirable. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but the dense weight and animated detailing suggest using it at larger sizes and with comfortable spacing for maximum clarity.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage print, posters, and dramatic editorial headlines. Its energetic slant and sculpted terminals add a charismatic, slightly whimsical voice that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than restrained or purely classical.
The design appears intended as an expressive display serif that combines traditional serif structure with flared, calligraphic finishing. Its goal is to deliver a distinctive, high-impact voice for titling, where rhythm, motion, and silhouette matter as much as straightforward neutrality.
Letterforms show intentional irregularity in detailing—tapered ends, tight apertures in some bowls, and strong diagonals—producing a dynamic silhouette at larger sizes. The figures share the same high-contrast, curving logic, helping numerals feel integrated for titling and short bursts of text.
