A refined, high-contrast text face with slender stems and flared terminals that read as soft, wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. Curves are smooth and generously open, with a calm rhythm and slightly calligraphic modulation through joins and shoulders. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while the lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with crisp apertures and a modest, controlled slant in some strokes. Numerals are lining and similarly elegant, with clear differentiation and consistent stroke modulation.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book-cover titling where contrast and elegance are desired. It can also support refined branding and packaging, and works nicely for headlines and subheads that need a cultured, premium feel.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing contemporary cleanliness with a subtle classical echo from its tapered terminals and contrast. It feels calm, intelligent, and a bit ceremonial—suited to contexts that benefit from sophistication without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern reading and display voice that feels elevated and precise, using contrast and tapered terminals to add sophistication while keeping the overall construction clean and contemporary.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and tapered details become a defining feature, giving words a light, shimmering texture. The sample text shows good clarity of counters and punctuation, with a composed, page-like color that suggests careful spacing and restrained proportions.
