A sturdy, high-contrast roman with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and clearly defined stroke transitions. Curves are full and slightly condensed in places, with sharp, crisp joins that give counters a clean, carved feel. The uppercase has traditional, inscriptional proportions, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with pronounced vertical stress and firm baseline alignment. Numerals are weighty and emphatic, with strong curves and clear differentiation across forms.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where strong contrast and crisp terminals can add hierarchy and personality. It should also work effectively in branding and packaging applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, with a classic, authoritative presence. Its sharp terminals and structured shapes lend a formal, established voice that reads as traditional rather than playful or casual.
Designed to deliver a bold, classic reading voice with sculpted terminals and strong contrast, balancing traditional roman proportions with a darker, attention-holding texture. The intent appears to be legibility with presence—clear letterforms that also convey an established, editorial character.
A noticeable mix of smooth round bowls and angular, chiseled terminals creates a distinctive texture in text: darker at joins and stems, lighter through hairline-like curves. The italic is not shown; all samples present a consistent upright posture and a strong, even color at larger text sizes.
