A crisp, high-contrast text face with sharply tapered terminals and hairline-thin connecting strokes. The letterforms are narrowly proportioned with a steady vertical axis and clear modulation, creating a bright, polished texture in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and controlled, while many joins and ends resolve into pointed, wedge-like finishes rather than blunt cuts. Numerals and capitals show a measured, slightly stately rhythm, and the overall spacing reads even and composed in running text.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book or long-form editorial settings, and polished headline work where contrast and crisp detail can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and formal collateral—such as invitations or certificates—especially at moderate to large sizes where the fine strokes remain clear.
The tone is refined and editorial, with a composed, literary feel suited to sophisticated typography. Its sharp terminals and contrast add a sense of formality and precision, giving text a confident, finished presence without feeling heavy.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast reading texture with a contemporary cleanliness, pairing sharp finishing details with controlled proportions for an elevated editorial voice.
Distinctive pointed terminals appear across many glyphs, adding sparkle at text sizes and a more dramatic silhouette in large settings. The uppercase set reads particularly dignified, while the lowercase maintains a clean, disciplined flow with minimal ornament.
