This typeface shows a high-contrast, upright roman structure with sculpted, tapering terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that read as serif-like in behavior even when small. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded bowls and open counters, while verticals carry the darkest weight. Joins and diagonals feel clean and deliberate, and the rhythm alternates between strong stems and thin connecting strokes, producing a crisp, slightly calligraphic texture. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and numerals that follow the same contrast and curvature as the letters.
It works well for magazine-style typography, headlines, and title treatments where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also support book covers and brand wordmarks that want a classic, premium feel, and it holds up for short-to-medium blocks of text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
Overall it conveys an editorial, classic tone—confident and composed rather than casual. The sharp contrast and polished curves suggest refinement and authority, suitable for situations that benefit from a traditional, literary voice.
The design appears intended to blend modern cleanliness with traditional high-contrast letterforms, delivering a refined voice that remains readable and structured. Its consistent modulation and carefully shaped terminals suggest a focus on polished editorial typography and strong typographic hierarchy.
In text, the font builds a strong black-white pattern with pronounced thick/thin modulation, giving paragraphs a dignified presence but also making very small sizes potentially feel delicate in the thinnest strokes. The uppercase has a stately stance for display lines, while the lowercase maintains a readable, book-like cadence.
