A high-contrast, upright text face with crisp, hairline-thin joins and fuller main strokes. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while terminals tend to finish cleanly with subtle, tapered endings rather than blunt cuts. The capitals feel tall and composed with open internal spaces; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height, narrow joins, and clearly defined bowls and shoulders. Spacing appears even and readable in paragraphs, with a rhythm that alternates fine hairlines and stronger verticals for a polished, print-like texture. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant, curving forms and thin horizontal details.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where contrast and refinement are desired, and it can also serve as a premium headline or subhead face for cultural, fashion, or luxury contexts. It will perform best in print and on screens where thin strokes can be preserved cleanly.
The overall tone is sophisticated and traditional, evoking book typography, magazine elegance, and a sense of cultivated restraint. Its sharp contrast and delicate details add a formal, premium character suited to curated, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary, clean take on high-contrast letterforms—prioritizing elegance, smooth curves, and a composed page color for editorial and display-driven typography.
Fine hairlines and tapered details become a prominent feature at larger sizes and in high-resolution output; in small sizes or low-quality reproduction, those thin strokes may require careful handling for clarity. The letterforms lean toward classic proportions, with a calm, measured cadence in mixed-case text.
