This typeface shows pronounced stroke modulation with thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, creating a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Letterforms are upright with relatively narrow apertures and compact counters, and many terminals finish in sharp, tapering points rather than blunt cuts. Curves are taut and controlled (notably in round letters and numerals), while joins often feel gently bracketed, giving the design a slightly calligraphic, engraved quality. Uppercase proportions read stately and steady, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable texture with a clear, traditional skeleton.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial display where its contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly. It can add sophistication to branding, packaging, and poster typography, especially when set with comfortable tracking and generous leading.
The overall tone is polished and literate, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. High-contrast strokes and pointed finishing details lend a sense of luxury and formality, while the restrained structure keeps it contemporary rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast voice with a modern editorial feel—prioritizing elegance, strong vertical emphasis, and crisp detailing for display-led typography.
The figures are refined and high-contrast, with distinctive curvature in forms like 2, 3, and 9 that matches the letterforms’ sharp, tapered finishing. In paragraph setting the font creates a bright, crisp color that favors larger sizes where hairlines can remain clear.
