A heavy, high-contrast text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Strokes resolve into sharp, wedge-like terminals and bracketed joins that give counters a carved, sculpted feel. Proportions are fairly classical with compact apertures and sturdy stems; curves are taut and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, Y) form crisp angles without soft rounding. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a strong, angular ear on g, and a compact, sturdy rhythm suited to dense settings.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a confident, traditional tone is desired. It can also serve for branding in areas that benefit from a premium, heritage-leaning feel, and for short text passages when strong typographic presence is preferred over a lighter reading texture.
The overall tone is serious and editorial, with a distinctly traditional, bookish voice. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast read as authoritative and cultivated, leaning toward heritage and luxury rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, authoritative voice with heightened contrast and crisp terminals, balancing traditional letterform construction with a bold, attention-grabbing weight for contemporary editorial and branding use.
At text sizes the strong contrast and tight internal shaping create a dark, emphatic color, while larger sizes emphasize the chiseled terminals and elegant curve transitions. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with clear contrast and classical forms that feel consistent in headlines and display settings.
