A high-contrast text face with crisp, finely tapered strokes and clearly modeled letterforms. Curves are smooth and round, while terminals often finish in sharp, triangular or wedge-like endings that give the silhouettes a chiseled look. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with open counters and steady rhythm in running text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with refined curves and distinct, readable shapes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where contrast and refinement are desired. It also performs strongly in display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and cultured branding—where the sharp terminals and sculpted forms can carry a premium, traditional tone.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward a classic, editorial voice. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of formality and sophistication, suggesting a considered, print-minded aesthetic rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, balancing smooth roundness with sharp, decisive terminals. It aims to feel authoritative and elegant while maintaining clarity across mixed-case text and numerals.
In the sample text, the contrast and pointed finishing details become more prominent at larger sizes, where the sculpted terminals and tight, clean joins read as a defining signature. The mix of rounded bowls and knife-like terminals creates a clear visual tension that helps headings feel dignified while keeping body text structured and clear.
