A sturdy text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are round and full but controlled, with compact counters and a steady, vertical stance. Uppercase forms feel weighty and slightly condensed in their internal space, while lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g” with a distinct ear, and a deep, curved “y” descender. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with open, readable shapes and a calligraphic flavor in figures like 2, 3, and 9.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and presence are assets. It should also work for editorial and book typography at moderate sizes, especially where a traditional, high-contrast look is desired, and can add gravitas to branding and poster work.
The overall tone reads serious and editorial, projecting authority and tradition rather than casual friendliness. Its strong contrast and emphatic terminals add a touch of drama that feels at home in publishing and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward voice with strong contrast and confident, traditional letterforms. It prioritizes impact and a refined, editorial texture while keeping forms conventional and easily recognizable.
The font’s rhythm is driven by sharp joins and tapered strokes, giving a slightly engraved or print-like impression. Diagonals and vertices (notably in A, V, W, and X) are crisp, while round letters maintain even curvature without becoming geometric.
