A high-contrast display face with sturdy vertical stems and sharply thinned horizontals, creating a pronounced black-and-white rhythm. Curves are smooth and rounded, but often finish in tapered, wedge-like terminals rather than fully blunt ends, giving many letters a subtly calligraphic snap. The uppercase set feels tall and stately with generous interior space in rounded forms, while the lowercase shows compact, weighty bowls (notably in b, p, q, and g) and a relatively restrained, readable x-height. Numerals follow the same logic, with strong vertical emphasis and elegant thinning in curved strokes.
Best suited to headlines and other short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and tapered terminals can stay crisp and expressive. It works well for magazine titling, branding wordmarks, packaging, and promotional layouts that need a classic-but-punchy presence. In longer paragraphs it can be used for emphasis or pull quotes, especially at comfortable sizes and with adequate leading.
The overall tone is editorial and high-impact, pairing a refined, classic sensibility with a slightly theatrical sharpness. It reads as confident and authoritative, with enough elegance to feel premium while remaining assertive in color on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong display voice built from rounded forms and dramatic stroke modulation, balancing elegance with weight for impactful reading in editorial and brand contexts. Its consistent contrast model and distinctive terminals suggest a focus on memorable texture and personality rather than neutral text invisibility.
Distinctive details include the long, curling J and Q tail, a single-storey a, and a double-storey g with a pronounced ear and compact lower loop. Round letters like O, C, and G show a clear contrast axis and crisp transitions into terminals, producing a lively texture in longer lines of text.
