A clean, display-oriented face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The forms are generally compact with tall capitals, tight internal counters, and a vertical, steady rhythm. Curves (C, O, S) show controlled stress and smooth joins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) come to sharp points that emphasize a cut, chiseled feeling. Lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with a clear two-storey g and firm, slightly angular finishing strokes, supporting strong word shapes in larger settings.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand-led layouts where contrast and crisp terminals can do visual work. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics that want a refined, slightly dramatic voice, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, mixing a contemporary clarity with a subtly classical, engraved flavor. It reads as serious and composed rather than playful, with enough contrast and sharp finishing to feel premium and attention-getting.
Likely drawn to deliver a modern headline voice with an engraved, high-finish edge—balancing clean construction with contrast and sharply cut terminals for impact and sophistication.
The design’s contrast and pointed terminals create sparkle in headlines and pull-quotes, while the compact spacing and tight counters can look dense as sizes get smaller. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered logic, giving figures a cohesive, editorial presence alongside text.
