A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The forms feel wide and expansive, with open counters and a strongly modulated rhythm that suggests a broad-nib influence. Serifs are sharp and triangular rather than bracketed, and many joins taper to pointed tips, creating a lively, cut-in silhouette. Uppercase letters read sturdy and compact in their inner spaces, while the lowercase shows more cursive energy with prominent entry/exit strokes and a single-storey a and g.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event promos, and branding where the strong contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for punchy packaging copy or pull quotes, but its energetic modulation and dense weight make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a fast, forward-leaning motion that feels energetic and assertive. Its sharp terminals and swelling strokes lend a vintage, poster-like charisma—confident, slightly sporty, and attention-seeking rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with an assertive italic, using flared terminals and sharp wedge serifs to amplify drama and motion. It prioritizes display impact and a distinctive, vintage-inflected voice over neutrality and quiet readability.
Numerals and capitals maintain a strong headline presence, with angular diagonals and pointed terminals that emphasize speed and direction. The italic construction is integral (not a simple slant), visible in the shaped strokes and tapered joins that create a continuous calligraphic flow across words.
