A heavy, high-contrast roman with pronounced vertical stress and compact internal counters. Strokes alternate between thick stems and needle-like hairlines, with crisp, squared-off joins and occasional bracketed transitions where curves meet stems. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with rounded bowls that read as slightly condensed by the weight, and a crisp, upright rhythm. Numerals and caps carry the same assertive weight, with sharp interior cut-ins and clear modulation that keeps the silhouette lively despite the mass.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and poster typography where its weight and contrast can create punch and hierarchy. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic, premium voice, especially when used in short phrases or large-scale applications.
The tone is commanding and theatrical, with an old-style gravitas that feels suited to bold statements. Its strong contrast and dense color give it a premium, editorial mood—confident, serious, and attention-grabbing rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast interpretation of a traditional upright roman for display use. Its tall lowercase and dense overall color prioritize impact and authority while retaining a refined, editorial finish.
At smaller sizes the fine hairlines and tight counters may fill in, while larger settings emphasize the dramatic thick–thin modulation. The overall texture is dark and continuous, producing strong impact in short runs and display lines.
