A high-contrast, upright roman with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems. The forms are built on classical proportions with a moderate x-height, crisp terminals, and bracketed finishing on key strokes that reads as controlled rather than decorative. Curves are smooth and slightly vertical in stress, with counters that stay open even as joins and shoulders pinch elegantly at high-contrast points. Spacing appears even and text color is assertive at display sizes, with strong silhouettes in capitals and a slightly more lively rhythm in the lowercase.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine features, book covers, and identity work that benefits from a classic, premium tone. It performs particularly well in larger settings where the contrast and crisp terminals can be appreciated, and where a confident, literary texture is desired.
The font conveys an editorial, traditional tone with a refined, bookish confidence. Its contrast and crisp detailing suggest seriousness and polish, making the voice feel established and formal rather than casual or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast roman voice—prioritizing elegance, hierarchy, and strong display impact while maintaining readable, well-structured text forms.
Capitals show a stately presence and clear hierarchy against the lowercase, while numerals follow the same contrast logic for consistent typographic color. In the sample text, the sharp hairlines and tight joins add sophistication but also imply that extremely small sizes or low-resolution contexts may reduce the visibility of finer strokes.
