This typeface shows a high-contrast, upright construction with crisp terminals and subtly flared, wedge-like endings that suggest a chiseled or calligraphic influence while remaining clean in overall silhouette. Curves are smoothly drawn and open, with an energetic rhythm created by pronounced thick–thin transitions and slightly tapered strokes. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase combines rounded bowls with sharper joins and a distinctive single-storey “g” with an ear. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and sharp finishing details that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display-forward settings where its contrast and tapered terminals can be appreciated. It can also support short-form editorial text in magazines or book interiors when set with comfortable spacing and sizes that preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, with an editorial polish that feels suitable for literature, culture, and premium branding. Its sharp, ink-like modulation adds a touch of drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental, giving text a confident, curated voice.
The design appears intended to blend a modern, clean structure with classical stroke modulation, offering a distinctive voice for sophisticated typography without relying on heavy decoration.
The italic is not shown; the roman style relies on terminal shaping and stroke modulation to provide character. In the sample paragraph, the strong contrast and tapered details create a lively texture that stands out most at larger sizes, where the refined terminals and curves are most apparent.
