A heavy, high-contrast roman with robust vertical stems, rounded bowls, and crisp, slightly tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and corners often resolve into subtle wedge-like shaping that gives the outlines a carved, bracketed feel. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are relatively tight, producing a dense, emphatic texture in text. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, and the lowercase shows a traditional two-storey structure in letters like a and g, with short, sturdy shoulders and a generally compact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, mastheads, and punchy editorial callouts where its dense weight and high contrast can do the work. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative presence, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The font conveys a confident, old-school authority—bold and declarative without feeling playful. Its dense color and carved terminal behavior suggest a classic editorial or poster sensibility, leaning toward a vintage, headline-ready tone rather than a purely utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic, constructed feel—combining sturdy proportions with refined contrast and tapered terminals to create a bold, attention-holding text and display voice.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dark, continuous typographic color that reads best at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same weighty, high-contrast logic, matching the letterforms for cohesive display setting.
