This typeface uses crisp, tapered strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like terminals that read as clean and sculpted rather than soft. Uppercase forms are tall and open, with confident verticals and subtly flared joins; curves are smooth and controlled, producing a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Lowercase has a compact, text-oriented build with a two-storey “g,” narrow apertures, and small, precise details (notably in “e,” “s,” and “t”). Numerals are proportional and expressive, with strong contrast and angled cuts that maintain a consistent, chiseled finish across the set.
It suits editorial typography where a refined, high-contrast texture is desirable—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles—as well as book typography at comfortable text sizes. It can also support branding and identity work that calls for an elegant, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is polished and serious, leaning toward an editorial, literary voice. The sharp terminals and high-contrast modulation convey sophistication and tradition, while the clean silhouettes keep it feeling contemporary enough for modern layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast reading experience with a classic, chiseled character. Its controlled proportions and consistent sharp terminals suggest a focus on sophistication and strong typographic presence in both display and text settings.
In running text, the pronounced contrast and pointed terminals create a lively texture that benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing, especially in dense paragraphs. The design’s angular cuts are consistent across letters and figures, helping headlines and short passages look cohesive and intentional.
