A strong, high-contrast design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The shapes read as compact and vertically oriented, with rounded bowls that tighten into narrow joins and a consistent, slightly calligraphic stress. Uppercase forms are sturdy and centered, while the lowercase shows classic proportions with a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and a compact, ball-like i/j dot. Numerals appear oldstyle in character, with varied heights and curves that echo the text rhythm rather than strict lining uniformity.
It performs especially well in headlines and subheads where contrast and compact shapes can create punchy, high-impact typography. The energetic texture also suits editorial pull quotes, poster copy, and brand or packaging applications that want a classic, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—confident, serious, and slightly bookish. Its weight and contrast give it a commanding presence, while the curved details keep it from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional, high-contrast letterform cues with a clean, contemporary structure, delivering a commanding display presence while remaining usable for short blocks of text.
Counters are relatively tight for the weight, boosting solidity in headlines. The overall rhythm is lively due to the contrast and subtly varied stroke endings, producing strong texture in paragraphs and a distinctive silhouette in all-caps settings.
