A high-contrast text face with sculpted strokes and sharp, tapering terminals that give many letters a subtly chiseled silhouette. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and corners are crisply resolved, producing clean rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. The uppercase feels stately and vertically emphasized, with broad, stable bowls and clear internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and compact proportions suited to continuous reading. Figures align with the same contrast and tapered finishing, mixing straight stems with rounded forms for a coherent, bookish texture.
Well suited to editorial systems such as magazine typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic texture is desired. It also works effectively for display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks—where its contrast and sharp terminals can provide sophistication and presence.
The overall tone is cultivated and editorial, balancing authority with elegance. Its sharp finishing and strong thick–thin modulation convey a traditional, print-oriented character that reads as serious, literary, and somewhat formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading experience with a refined, contemporary crispness, offering a composed page color and an elevated tone for editorial and literary applications.
In the text sample, the face maintains clear word shapes and a steady baseline, with contrast adding sparkle in larger sizes. The tapered terminals and fine hairlines suggest it will look best where rendering can preserve delicate details, especially in lighter strokes.
