A heavy, wide display face with sharply defined, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms show crisp edges, tight inner counters, and a strong horizontal emphasis, with broad bowls and compact apertures that build dense, dark word shapes. Curves are smoothly drawn but resolve into pointed finishing strokes, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel stiff and architectural rather than calligraphic. Uppercase proportions are robust and blocky, while lowercase retains a traditional, two-storey structure where applicable, maintaining consistent weight and a steady baseline rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where its width and strong modulation can be appreciated: headlines, magazine or newspaper-style titles, book covers, packaging, and brand marks that need a confident, traditional voice. It can work for short pull quotes and section headers, while long-form body copy may feel visually heavy due to the dense texture.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking a classic editorial gravitas with a slightly theatrical, poster-like presence. Its sharp terminals and dense texture create a commanding voice that feels formal, traditional, and attention-seeking rather than casual or minimalist.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, editorial display impression with a modern, sharpened finish—prioritizing impact, sturdy presence, and distinctive terminal shapes over neutral readability.
At text sizes the heavy color and relatively closed counters can read as compact and forceful, especially in dense passages. In display settings the pointed terminals and strong contrast become more legible as stylistic features, producing distinctive silhouettes in headings and short phrases.
