This typeface features sturdy, heavy strokes with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with rounded bowls that show a subtle vertical stress and relatively tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Curves are full and smooth, while joins in m/n and the shoulder of r are deep and firmly shaped, creating a dense, even color in text. Numerals follow the same robust, traditional rhythm, with the 0 and 8 notably round and weighty and the 9 showing a prominent descending curve.
It performs best where strong typographic presence is needed, such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks. The dense, high-contrast texture also suits short editorial passages, pull quotes, and packaging copy where a classic, emphatic look is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial presence that feels established and authoritative. Its weight and contrast give it a serious, attention-holding voice suited to emphatic statements rather than casual or airy messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-forward voice with strong emphasis and compact rhythm, pairing rounded construction with sharp contrast to produce a commanding, highly legible display texture.
Spacing appears on the tighter side, reinforcing a compact texture in paragraphs. Distinctive details include the single-storey a and g, a curled ear on g, and rounded terminals that add softness to an otherwise strongly structured, print-like silhouette.
