This typeface shows crisp, high-contrast strokes with sharp, tapered terminals and a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Curves are clean and elliptical, with narrow joins and pronounced thick–thin transitions that give letters a polished, print-like texture. Proportions feel balanced with a moderately sized x-height, clear counters, and confident vertical stress; diagonals (V, W, Y) are particularly sharp and elegant. The lowercase includes a two-storey a and a single-storey g, and overall spacing reads open enough for display while retaining a dense, editorial color in text.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where high-contrast detail can shine. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes to preserve its thin stroke details.
The overall tone is refined and formal, with an editorial seriousness that suggests tradition and credibility. Its high-contrast detailing and crisp terminals add a touch of luxury and ceremony without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast letterforms—prioritizing elegance, clarity, and a strong editorial presence while keeping the overall shapes clean and controlled.
Round figures and capitals (O, Q, C) maintain smooth curves while keeping a firm, structured edge, and punctuation in the sample text reads strongly at larger sizes. The numerals appear clear and stately, matching the letterforms’ contrast and vertical emphasis.
