This typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp, tapered terminals and a largely vertical stress. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with carefully controlled curves and sharp joins; the round letters are smooth and evenly tensioned, while diagonals and horizontals stay clean and precise. Lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact bowls, and distinct entry/exit strokes that create a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and fine hairline details that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
It performs especially well in display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, and premium brand identities. For longer reading, it is better suited to larger text sizes and comfortable line spacing where the thin strokes can remain clear and stable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a traditional, upscale feel suited to refined branding and editorial typography. Its contrast and sharp finishing cues suggest sophistication and authority rather than casual or utilitarian uses.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text/display voice, balancing crisp precision with subtle calligraphic nuance. Its intention seems to be creating an upscale, authoritative presence while maintaining legibility through open counters and steady proportions.
The design leans on delicate hairlines and pointed terminals, so texture becomes airy and bright in longer passages, especially at larger sizes. Curved characters (like C, G, S, and O) are particularly smooth and controlled, contributing to a calm, composed page color.
