A high-contrast, upright text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes often end in subtle flares rather than fully developed serifs, giving a clean silhouette with classical undertones. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow joins and sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W, Y), while round letters like O and C show strong vertical stress. Proportions feel balanced and legible, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between similar forms; the overall rhythm is steady and slightly formal.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book jackets, and section heads where contrast and refinement add hierarchy. It can also support upscale branding and display lines, and may work for short text settings when adequate size and spacing preserve the thin strokes.
The tone reads polished and editorial, combining contemporary cleanliness with a hint of classical sophistication. Its sharp contrast and tapered finishing details create a sense of authority and luxury without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a sharp, high-contrast voice that feels contemporary yet rooted in classic letterform structure. By using tapered terminals and controlled stress instead of overt ornament, it aims for elegance, clarity, and strong typographic presence in headings and editorial contexts.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with sculpted curves and crisp terminals that match the letterforms. The design maintains consistent stress and contrast across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, print-forward texture.
