A high-contrast roman with crisp, tapered strokes and sharp terminals that read as delicately chiseled rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and spurs stay precise, giving letters a sculptural, editorial rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow in silhouette, with open counters and clear internal shaping; lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact, well-controlled bowls. Numerals follow the same contrast and elegance, with distinctive curves and fine hairlines that reinforce a polished, print-like texture at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and crisp terminals can provide personality and hierarchy. It also fits editorial and cultural applications—magazine layouts, book covers, and premium brand communications—where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and confident, balancing modern cleanliness with a classic, literary poise. Its sharpness and contrast lend a premium, fashion-forward feel without becoming ornamental, projecting clarity and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast reading of a contemporary roman, emphasizing sharp terminals, smooth curves, and a disciplined rhythm for a distinctive editorial presence. It aims to feel premium and articulate while remaining clean and broadly usable for display typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered details become a defining feature, creating a lively shimmer in text lines and strong character in headlines. The design’s contrast and tight detailing suggest it will be most striking where reproduction is clean and spacing can breathe.
