A heavy, high-contrast roman with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly bracketed joins that give strokes a carved, inked feel. Curves are full and rounded with compact internal counters, while verticals remain steady and upright. The uppercase shows strong classical proportions with sharp apexes on A/V/W and a clean, open G; the lowercase has robust bowls and a pronounced, descending g with a generous ear. Numerals are bold and curvilinear, with noticeable stroke modulation and distinct shapes for 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and other display settings where its stroke contrast and sculpted terminals can carry the page. It would also work well for editorial titling, book covers, and brand marks that need a classic, authoritative presence.
The overall tone reads traditional and editorial, balancing firmness with a refined, old-world polish. It feels confident and formal, suggesting printed heritage and institutional gravitas rather than casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-forward voice with strong emphasis and clear silhouettes, combining robust weight with refined modulation for impactful reading at larger sizes.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, where the tapered terminals and contrast become a key feature. The letterforms maintain a consistent rhythm across lines, with distinctive beak-like ends and clear differentiation between similarly shaped glyphs.
