This typeface is a bold, right-leaning serif with distinctly flared, bracketed terminals that widen into sharp wedge-like endings. Strokes are mostly low-contrast, but with visible calligraphic modulation—especially where curves meet stems—creating a lively, inked rhythm. The overall geometry is broad and sturdy, with large counters and rounded bowls balanced by crisp serifs and tapered joins. Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, while lowercase shows more motion through angled entries, energetic shoulders, and a single-storey a and g that keep the texture brisk and informal.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its flared serif details and italic momentum can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial standfirsts, pull quotes, or display-heavy layouts where a vigorous, vintage-leaning emphasis is desired.
The tone mixes editorial heft with a spirited, slightly retro flourish. Its italic energy and flared terminals add drama and momentum, giving text a confident, attention-seeking voice that feels at home in expressive branding or punchy headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, slanted display voice that bridges classic serif cues with energetic, flared terminals for modern impact. Its combination of sturdy proportions and calligraphic tapering suggests a focus on strong readability at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, branded texture.
In text, the strong slant and prominent flares create a textured, rhythmic line with clear word shapes, though the energetic terminals and heavy weight make it feel most comfortable at larger sizes. Numerals are bold and stylized to match, with curved, slightly calligraphic shaping that keeps them visually consistent with the letters.
