This typeface presents sturdy, evenly weighted stems paired with sharply cut terminals and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer joins. Proportions run open and roomy, with broad uppercase forms and generous counters that keep the texture from feeling dense even at display sizes. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with compact, bracket-like finishing and a slightly calligraphic stress in rounded letters, giving curves a sculpted, controlled feel. Overall spacing reads deliberate and stable, with a consistent rhythm that supports large headlines while retaining clarity in smaller lines of text.
It performs especially well in headlines and editorial layouts where contrast and open counters enhance impact and readability. The controlled, polished forms also make it a strong choice for branding, book covers, and poster typography that needs a confident voice with a refined finish.
The tone is confident and composed, blending contemporary cleanliness with a subtly classical, editorial flavor. Its high-contrast construction and crisp shaping add a sense of polish and authority, making it feel suited to refined, text-forward communication rather than playful or casual settings.
The design appears intended to combine modern, clean construction with selective classical cues—using contrast, structured curves, and restrained finishing strokes to create a versatile display-to-text personality that feels premium and legible.
Figures are clear and moderately proportioned, with rounded forms that maintain strong interior space (notably the “0” and “8”). The caps maintain a steady, stately presence, while the lowercase introduces a touch of typographic character through double-storey forms and small finishing strokes that add definition without becoming ornate.
