A hefty display face with compact interior counters and sharply defined, high-contrast joins. Most letters read as broad, block-like silhouettes, while key strokes thin down into hairline-like cuts and tapered terminals that create a chiseled, carved impression. Curves are smooth but tightly controlled, and straight strokes stay rigid, producing a strong vertical rhythm with assertive horizontals. The lowercase has sturdy bowls and short, blunt shoulders, with occasional thin entry/exit strokes that add sparkle without softening the overall mass.
Best suited to large sizes where the dramatic contrast and carved details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, cover lines, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and short pull quotes where a dense, commanding texture is desirable; for longer passages it will read most comfortably when given generous size and spacing.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing a modern, poster-ready weight with a hint of classical, engraved refinement. It feels authoritative and attention-seeking rather than casual, lending a slightly vintage editorial mood while staying crisp and contemporary in silhouette.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sculptural, high-contrast voice—combining big, rectangular proportions with refined, tapered details to create an editorial display look that feels both classic and strikingly modern.
The numerals and capitals show pronounced contrast between thick stems and narrow cut-ins, making the black shapes feel sculpted. Some glyphs use fine, pointed diagonals (notably in forms like K, V, W, X) that add tension and energy, while rounded letters keep tight apertures for a dense, impactful texture in lines of text.
