A high-contrast roman with broad proportions and a lively, slightly calligraphic stroke modulation. Stems are weighty and vertical, while joins and terminals often taper into sharp wedges or subtle flares, giving many letters a carved, chiseled finish. Curves are full and open, counters are generously sized, and the overall color reads bold without becoming heavy, helped by crisp hairlines and tight, clean apertures. The figures follow the same contrast and flare logic, with emphatic diagonals and distinct, slightly stylized shapes for 2, 3, 5, and 7.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial settings, posters, and book-cover typography where contrast and distinctive terminals can carry personality. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to let the sharp terminals and tight joins breathe.
The tone is assertive and editorial, balancing traditional bookish authority with a touch of dramatic flair. Its pointed terminals and strong contrast add a sense of ceremony and voice, making text feel intentional and crafted rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast letterforms: wide, confident shapes with expressive wedge terminals that enhance presence in display and editorial contexts while keeping counters open for clarity.
The rhythm is energetic: diagonals and curved strokes tend to end in angled cuts, and several forms show subtle inward notches at joins that keep the interior spaces crisp at display sizes. Spacing in the sample text feels compact and sturdy, supporting dense lines while preserving clear word shapes.
