A heavy display face with a pronounced vertical stress and sharp contrast between thick main strokes and hairline connectors. Curves are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals often flare into wedge-like shapes, creating a crisp, cut-in look at the ends of strokes. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, with rounded bowls that keep a steady rhythm across text. Details like ball terminals (notably on figures and some lowercase) and occasional notch-like ink-trap shapes add definition at small internal corners.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where its contrast and strong rhythm can read as intentional and refined. It works well for magazine and editorial settings, brand marks that want authority, and packaging or signage that benefits from high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a headline-forward gravity that reads as editorial and institutional. Its high-contrast structure gives it a slightly theatrical, premium feel, while the clean, unornamented surfaces keep it direct rather than decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-contrast headline voice that feels classic in structure but simplified in detailing. It prioritizes impact and clarity in display sizes, using flared terminals and tight counters to maintain definition and a consistent, dark typographic color.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and formal, with a consistent cap height and strong verticals. Lowercase has a compact, weighty color with single-storey shapes (such as the a and g) that keep the texture dense and punchy. Numerals show clear contrast and distinctive terminals, giving dates and short number strings a prominent, poster-like presence.
