This typeface presents sturdy, confident letterforms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a broad, generous stance. Strokes often finish in subtly flared, wedge-like terminals, giving many characters a carved, sculptural quality rather than purely geometric endings. Curves are full and rounded, with crisp joins and controlled counters that remain open even at heavy stroke weights. The overall rhythm is steady and high-contrast, with wide capitals, substantial bowls, and a clear hierarchy between stems, diagonals, and curved strokes.
It performs best in display sizes such as headlines, magazine covers, posters, and impactful branding where contrast and width can create presence. It can also support short bursts of text—subheads, pull quotes, and packaging copy—where a formal, high-impact voice is desired.
The tone feels assertive and establishment-minded, with an editorial gravitas reminiscent of traditional print typography. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a slightly ceremonial, headline-forward personality, while the broad proportions keep it confident and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a powerful, print-classic voice with modern solidity: wide proportions for impact, strong contrast for sophistication, and flared terminals to add a crafted, premium finish.
In the glyph set, the capital forms read especially monumental, and the lowercase shows similarly weighty construction with compact internal spaces and pronounced contrast in rounded letters. Numerals appear sturdy and display-friendly, with strong silhouettes and clear differentiation.
