A forward-leaning serif with substantial weight, medium contrast, and pronounced flared stroke endings that create a tapered, inked look rather than crisp slab terminals. The proportions are relatively condensed with lively width variation across letters, and the rhythm is energetic due to angled stress and subtly uneven stroke transitions. Serifs and terminals often sweep into pointed, wedge-like tips, while curves are full and slightly squarish at turns, giving the design a confident, carved-yet-written presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its strong texture and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that aims for a classic, slightly dramatic voice, especially in larger sizes where the angled rhythm and terminal shapes stay clear.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, with a slightly theatrical flair that suggests classic print, posters, and expressive headlines. Its italic slant and flared terminals add motion and emphasis, reading as assertive and stylish rather than quiet or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend italic dynamism with flared, ink-trap-like terminals to create a bold, characterful serif for attention-grabbing typography. It prioritizes expressive silhouettes and a cohesive, print-inspired texture over strict neutrality.
Uppercase forms show strong, sculpted silhouettes with distinctive entry/exit strokes, while lowercase maintains readability but keeps a calligraphic bite in terminals and joins. Numerals appear similarly weighty and angled, matching the text color and reinforcing a consistent, display-forward texture.
