A heavy, display-oriented roman with broad proportions, crisp vertical stress, and pronounced contrast between thick stems and thin joins. The outlines show subtle flaring and wedge-like terminals that read as incised or lightly bracketed rather than fully serifed, giving strokes a sculpted, cut-from-solid feel. Curves are full and rounded with tight internal counters, while horizontals and diagonals remain assertive and stable. Spacing is generous enough for headings, and the overall rhythm is strong and poster-like, with a consistent, weighty color across upper- and lowercase as well as numerals.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where its strong contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging that want a traditional-but-bold voice, as well as magazine or newspaper-style display typography. For longer passages, larger sizes and comfortable line spacing will help maintain clarity.
The typeface projects a classic, press-forward tone—confident and slightly nostalgic, with an editorial gravitas. Its carved terminals and strong contrast add a sense of formality and craftsmanship, while the wide stance keeps it bold and attention-seeking. Overall it feels authoritative and headline-driven rather than casual or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend a clean, modern backbone with subtle carved-terminal detailing to create a distinctive display face. Its wide stance, pronounced contrast, and compact counters suggest a focus on impact and typographic personality for prominent editorial and brand applications.
In text settings, the dense stroke weight and small counters create a compact interior texture that benefits from ample size and leading. The numerals and round letters carry a sturdy, monumental presence, and the wedge-like details add character without becoming ornamental.
