A high-contrast text face with sculpted, tapering strokes and crisp terminals that read as subtly flared rather than geometric. The lowercase shows two-storey forms for a and g, an angled, calligraphic stress, and generally open counters that keep the color from clogging despite thin hairlines. Capitals are sturdy and proportionally broad, with sharp apexes and carefully curved bowls; round letters (O, Q) are smooth and slightly oval, while E/F/T keep firm horizontal arms with fine endings. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven rhythm, with thin joins and pronounced thick strokes, creating an energetic vertical emphasis across lines of text.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, book jackets, and polished headline systems where contrast and refinement are desired. It also works for premium branding and short to medium-length text blocks when ample size and spacing allow the fine hairlines to stay clear.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, pairing sophistication with a slightly dramatic contrast. It suggests tradition and credibility while still feeling crisp and contemporary enough for modern layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast reading and display voice that bridges classic, calligraphic shaping with a cleaner, more contemporary construction. Its consistent modulation and open forms aim for elegance without sacrificing legibility in typical editorial settings.
The font maintains a consistent stress and stroke modulation across upper- and lowercase, producing a lively texture in paragraph settings. Diacritics and punctuation shown in the sample text appear balanced and clear at display sizes, with a clean, uncluttered rhythm between letters.
