This typeface features sturdy, high-contrast strokes with a clear vertical stress and crisp, sharply finished terminals. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with firm, straight-sided structure in capitals and rounded bowls that transition quickly into thin hairlines. Curves are clean and controlled, with compact internal spaces in letters like B, R, and e, and a generally tight, deliberate rhythm that reads strongly at display sizes. Numerals match the text weight and contrast, with prominent thick–thin modulation and stable, upright forms.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and authority are desirable. It can also support branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic, high-impact voice, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, projecting a traditional, authority-forward voice with a polished, premium feel. Its strong contrast and decisive shapes lend it a formal presence suited to headline moments and brand statements rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic text-and-display personality: strong, structured forms with pronounced contrast to create a refined, attention-grabbing typographic color. Its lettershapes prioritize impact and sophistication, making it ideal for prominent typographic hierarchy.
Uppercase forms show pronounced thick stems paired with fine cross strokes (notably in E, F, and T), while lowercase maintains a robust texture with a distinct, classic two-storey a and compact apertures. The combination of strong weight and narrow hairlines suggests best performance where reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small.
