A high-contrast, upright text face with crisp, tapered strokes and subtly flared, bracket-like terminals that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and round, while joins and apexes stay sharp, producing a lively rhythm across words. Proportions read as balanced with a moderate x-height, clear counters, and slightly narrow lowercase that helps maintain an even, refined texture in paragraphs. Figures are similarly contrasty and streamlined, matching the text’s vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazines where a refined, high-contrast texture is desired. It also performs convincingly in display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and identity work—where its sharp terminals and sculpted curves can read as premium and authoritative.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and refined branding. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals add a touch of sophistication and authority without feeling overly ornate.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with a contemporary crispness, combining smooth, rounded construction with disciplined contrast and carefully shaped terminals to create an elegant, professional voice.
The design shows a noticeable serif-like behavior in many terminals (especially in uppercase and on letters like c, e, f, and t), which helps guide the eye along the baseline. Uppercase forms feel stately and symmetrical, while lowercase shapes introduce gentle calligraphic movement through tapered strokes and angled details.
