This typeface presents a sturdy, compact construction with clearly bracketed, wedge-like terminals that give the strokes a carved, structured feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, while vertical stems read strong and steady; bowls and counters are moderately open for the weight. The lowercase shows two-storey forms (notably a and g), short-to-moderate ascenders, and firm, squared-off joins that emphasize a consistent rhythm. Numerals are robust and evenly drawn, with round figures kept tight and upright to match the overall compact color.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where strong typographic color and compact proportions help conserve space. It can support editorial and institutional branding, as well as packaging or signage that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is serious and editorial, combining a classic, bookish presence with a slightly hardened, authoritative edge. It feels formal and dependable rather than playful, projecting tradition and clarity in display settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a confident, space-efficient reading of classic letterforms, balancing firm vertical structure with controlled curvature and bracketed terminals to create a durable, editorial texture.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. Capitals are comparatively tall and commanding, and the dense stroke color makes word shapes stand out strongly, especially in short lines and headline-like settings.
