A robust, high-contrast text face with strongly bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a crisp, print-oriented rhythm. Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation with relatively open counters, while straighter forms keep sharp joins and clean, vertical stress. Proportions are moderately wide and steady, with a clear hierarchy between thick stems and fine hairlines that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and firm verticals that give paragraphs a dense, even texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where high contrast and a strong silhouette can carry. It can work for book and magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and branding that aims for a classic, established feel.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, projecting confidence and seriousness. Its crisp contrast and sculpted terminals add a touch of refinement that reads as bookish and institutional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-like presence with modern crispness: high contrast for elegance, sturdy stems for impact, and bracketed terminals to keep forms readable and composed in longer lines of display text.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a dark, authoritative page color, with the thinnest strokes becoming most delicate in tight spacing or at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals appear sturdy and headline-ready, supporting emphatic typographic voice.
