A high-contrast, upright text face with crisp, tapered terminals and a largely serifless finish. Strokes show pronounced modulation, creating sharp joins and thin hairlines against sturdier stems, with a slightly sculpted, calligraphic feel in curves and diagonals. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and clear counters; capitals read tall and composed, while numerals follow the same modulated rhythm with elegant curves and narrow joins.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial settings where its contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for book titling and brand wordmarks that want a polished, classic-leaning voice with a clean, contemporary edge.
The overall tone feels editorial and formal, projecting refinement and authority. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of tradition and ceremony, while the clean terminals keep it from feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend clean, serifless letterforms with classic high-contrast modulation, delivering an elegant display texture that remains legible and disciplined. It aims to provide a sophisticated typographic color for editorial and identity applications without relying on overt ornament.
In text, the modulation produces strong light–dark patterning and a slightly dramatic texture, especially in vertical-heavy words. The design remains crisp and controlled, with consistent contrast behavior across letters and figures.
