A heavy, high-contrast display face with broad proportions and an upright stance. Strokes alternate between dense vertical masses and hairline-like joins, creating a sharply sculpted rhythm. Terminals often flare into wedge-like endings, and curves are taut and clean, giving counters a crisp, carved feeling. The overall texture is punchy and uneven-in-a-controlled-way, with noticeable width variation from glyph to glyph that adds a lively, headline-driven cadence.
Best suited for large-scale applications such as headlines, poster typography, magazine or section titles, and brand marks where strong contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and pull quotes when you want dense, high-impact texture and a distinctive display voice.
The font projects a dramatic, editorial tone—confident and attention-seeking with a polished, contemporary edge. Its strong vertical emphasis and sharp contrast read as assertive and premium, suited to statements rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through extreme contrast, broad proportions, and flared terminals, blending a modern display sensibility with subtle, inscription-like finishing. It prioritizes presence and character over neutrality, aiming to create a memorable typographic signature in short texts.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and blocky, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic silhouettes and spacing, increasing the sense of personality in text. Numerals are bold and compact, matching the same contrast logic and flared finishing. At paragraph sizes the dark color can dominate, but at large sizes the internal shaping and contrast become a key part of the visual identity.
