A sturdy, high-contrast text face with strong vertical stems, tapered joins, and crisp, bracketed finishing strokes. Curves show clear modulation with narrowed transitions into the stems, producing a rhythmic light–dark pattern across words. Counters are moderately open and the proportions feel traditional, with a steady, upright stance and compact, efficient letterfit in running text. Numerals and capitals carry the same engraved-like stroke behavior, with prominent horizontals and confident terminals that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where strong contrast and crisp terminals can provide a commanding typographic voice. It can work well for magazine typography, book covers, posters, and institutional communications that benefit from a classic, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is serious and established, leaning toward editorial and institutional typography. Its sharp finishing strokes and pronounced contrast convey confidence and tradition rather than softness or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-forward reading experience with pronounced stroke modulation and assertive terminals, prioritizing a confident typographic color and clear letterforms for prominent text settings.
Round letters (such as C, O, and G) show a controlled, vertical-stress modulation, and many joins resolve into small wedges or teardrop-like endings that add definition. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. In the text sample, the weight and contrast create strong emphasis and a dense color, favoring headlines and pull-quote settings over delicate, airy layouts.
