A high-contrast roman with crisp, sculpted letterforms and clear modulation between thick verticals and fine hairlines. The design uses bracketed, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared joins that give strokes a carved, calligraphic feel without becoming ornate. Counters are open and neatly proportioned, with a steady baseline rhythm and disciplined curves in round letters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with strong stems and delicate finishing strokes, keeping the set visually consistent in text and display sizing.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where contrast and crisp detailing can shine. It also fits branding systems that need a classic, premium tone, and it can work for pull quotes or short passages when paired with comfortable leading and sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a formal, confident voice. Its sharp hairlines and stately proportions read as traditional and polished, suitable for settings that want a sense of seriousness and craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading aesthetic with contemporary cleanliness, emphasizing elegance and sharpness while maintaining a steady, legible rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Stroke endings tend to resolve into pointed wedges rather than blunt cuts, which adds sparkle at larger sizes and a slightly sharper texture in dense text. Curves and diagonals are carefully tensioned, giving the face a controlled, intentional presence rather than a soft or casual one.
