A sturdy, contrasted roman with sharply defined thick–thin transitions and crisp, bracketed terminals. Forms are compact and sculpted, with generous bowls and clear vertical stress, producing strong word-shapes at display sizes. Curves are smooth and slightly arched, while joins and counters stay relatively tight, giving the face a dense, punchy texture. Numerals appear lining with pronounced contrast and traditional proportions, matching the letterforms’ weight and rhythm.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and other display typography where strong contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It can support editorial applications such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and book-cover typography, and it also works for branding that needs a classic, assertive voice.
The overall tone feels editorial and classical, with a formal, authoritative presence. Its pronounced contrast and crisp finishing lend a dramatic, print-oriented character suitable for statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward look with heightened stroke contrast and crisp detailing, balancing traditional roman proportions with a heavier, more attention-grabbing presence for display settings.
Uppercase shapes lean toward traditional roman construction with confident verticals and controlled curvature, while the lowercase maintains a solid, anchored stance with sturdy stems and compact counters. Spacing in the sample reads on the tight side, contributing to a bold, poster-like color when set in paragraphs.
