A high-contrast, upright design with broad proportions and a sturdy, text-oriented build. Strokes transition sharply between thick verticals and noticeably finer connecting strokes, producing a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Terminals are subtly flared and often squarish, with occasional beaked details and bracketed joins that keep curves from feeling purely geometric. Counters are relatively open and the x-height reads tall, supporting clarity in mixed-case settings while the overall color stays bold and structured.
This font is well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where contrast and width can create impact. It can also support branding and packaging that need an authoritative, premium-leaning tone, and works well in short-to-medium text passages when set with comfortable spacing and line height.
The tone is confident and established, balancing modern cleanliness with a hint of traditional, print-era authority. Its sharp contrast and firm silhouettes give it a serious, editorial voice suited to statements and headlines rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast sans voice that feels refined and typographic, echoing engraved or transitional dynamics while staying largely sans in its construction. It prioritizes strong word shape, clear mixed-case readability, and a distinctive, structured presence for display use.
Uppercase forms feel especially solid and rectangular in their bowls, while lowercase shapes keep a compact, utilitarian presence. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with strong horizontals and squared ends that help maintain a consistent texture across alphanumerics.
