A bold, high-contrast roman with broad proportions and a steady, upright stance. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with crisp, wedge-like terminals and compact bracketed serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. Curves are smooth and generous, with open counters in letters like C, G, O, and e, while horizontals remain firm and straight. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a moderate x-height, and the overall rhythm feels slightly expansive due to the wide set and strong internal spacing.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and brand marks that need a classical voice with strong contrast. It can also work for short blocks of large-size text where its wide stance and crisp terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is authoritative and editorial, balancing refinement with punchy contrast. It evokes traditional publishing and institutional signage, but with enough sharpness to feel assertive and contemporary in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, print-minded voice with strong contrast and wide, stately proportions, giving familiar roman letterforms a sharper, more declarative presence for display typography.
In text samples, the heavy contrast and pronounced terminals create a strong word image, especially in mixed case. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and read clearly, with rounded forms and confident diagonals.
