A heavy, sharply cut display sans with pronounced contrast and crisp terminals. The forms are built from sturdy verticals paired with noticeably thinner horizontals, producing a strong typographic color and a slightly engraved, poster-like rhythm. Curves are broadly rounded but firmly controlled, while corners and joins feel angular and tight, giving the alphabet a compact, sculpted presence. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a square-ish i dot, and a deep-shouldered r, all tuned for bold, headline-driven settings.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and prominent brand typography where strong contrast and dense weight help text stand out. It can also work well for packaging and book cover titles, especially when a confident, classic-forward voice is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, with a classic editorial feel that reads as traditional but not ornamental. Its contrast and weight suggest authority and impact, lending a slightly vintage, print-forward character without becoming decorative.
This font appears intended as a high-impact display workhorse: a bold, contrasted sans designed to deliver strong presence and clear silhouette in short text. The controlled geometry and consistent contrast suggest a focus on striking headline performance and a timeless editorial sensibility.
The design maintains clear counters and stable proportions at large sizes, with strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The numeral set appears straightforward and sturdy, matching the font’s compact, high-impact voice.
