A heavy, display-oriented text face with sculpted strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are upright with broad proportions, open counters, and strongly defined vertical stress; the curves feel carved rather than purely geometric. The serifs are short and bracketed, with crisp terminals that add a chiseled, print-like edge, especially visible in the uppercase and in the ball terminals and joins of the lowercase. Spacing reads sturdy and even at large sizes, with clear differentiation between similar forms like I, J, and L, and a robust set of lining figures that match the capitals in weight and presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium blocks where strong contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It works well for editorial layouts, bold brand wordmarks, and packaging where a classic, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly editorial and institutional voice. It evokes headline typography from print publishing—bold, persuasive, and slightly dramatic—without feeling playful or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic, print-forward sensibility: wide, weighty forms paired with high-contrast modeling and bracketed serifs to retain clarity while adding sophistication. The result balances loud display presence with enough structure for controlled typographic hierarchy in editorial settings.
The uppercase has a compact, monumental feel, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic shaping in joins and terminals (notably in a, e, g, and s), creating a lively rhythm in text. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, with ample interior space in 8 and 9 and strong vertical emphasis across the set.
