A contrasted text face with sculpted, calligraphic stroke modulation and crisp wedge-like terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with open counters and a generally even rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms feel slightly monumental with clean vertical stress and tapered entry/exit strokes, while lowercase shows more lively shaping—most notably in the double-storey a, the looping g with a pronounced ear, and the angled joins in k and v. Numerals are proportionate and clear, with distinctive diagonals and tapered ends that keep the set consistent with the letterforms.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-jacket titling where contrast and crisp terminals help create hierarchy. It can also support branding and pull quotes that need a refined, confident voice, especially in medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone reads polished and editorial, balancing tradition with a streamlined, contemporary finish. The contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of precision and authority, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast voice in a relatively clean, modern package—aiming for strong typographic color and recognizability without heavy ornamentation.
Spacing appears comfortable in running text, and the contrast stays legible at display sizes without relying on overly delicate hairlines. The design’s character comes more from tapered terminals and stress than from ornamental detail, giving it a clean, curated look.
