A heavy, display-forward roman with pronounced stroke modulation and a broad stance. Curves are full and smooth, with tightly cut interior counters that create strong black-and-white patterning. Many terminals show subtle flaring and beak-like shaping, giving strokes a carved, chiseled finish rather than blunt endings. Joins and shoulders are robust and rounded, while verticals read firm and dominant; overall spacing feels compact, emphasizing dense texture and strong word silhouettes.
Best used where strong typographic presence is needed: headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand marks. It also suits premium packaging and editorial cover typography where dense, high-contrast letterforms can deliver impact without relying on ornament.
The tone is authoritative and editorial, blending traditional, bookish gravitas with a modern, high-impact presence. Its dark color and sculpted terminals convey seriousness and confidence, with a hint of engraved elegance that feels suited to prestige messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with refined, carved detailing—combining classic roman structure with sculpted terminals to create a distinctive, high-impact display texture.
Uppercase forms carry a monumental rhythm, while the lowercase maintains sturdy, compact proportions that keep lines looking solid at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and shaped for display, with rounded forms that reinforce the font’s bold, emphatic character.
