This typeface shows a sturdy, high-contrast structure with pronounced thick–thin modulation and mostly vertical stress. Uppercase forms are compact and assertive with broad vertical stems and crisp, clean joins; curves are smooth and full, producing generous inner counters in letters like O, C, and G. The lowercase is similarly weighty, with a two-storey a, a compact ear on g, and a prominent, rounded shoulder on n and m, creating a steady reading rhythm. Terminals are largely straight and decisive, while subtle bracketed transitions at joins soften the heaviness and keep forms from feeling mechanical. Numerals are clear and traditional in proportion, with strong verticals and rounded bowls that match the letterforms.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where its weight and contrast can project authority and clarity. The robust shapes and open counters also make it suitable for editorial branding, packaging, and promotional materials that need a classic, premium feel.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, with a classic, bookish authority that feels suited to established institutions and serious messaging. Its strong contrast and dense color give it a commanding presence, while the rounded bowls and consistent modulation keep it approachable rather than stark.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast voice with modern cleanliness—balancing strong, attention-grabbing strokes with smooth curves and stable proportions for confident display typography that can still hold together in text.
The heavy strokes create a dark typographic color in paragraphs, and the contrast becomes especially noticeable at display sizes where the sharp transitions and open counters read cleanly. Diacritics are not shown; the sample demonstrates strong headline impact alongside readable continuous text.
