A high-contrast text face with sharpened, slightly wedge-like terminals and subtle bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, inked feel. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while verticals read firm and steady, creating a clear vertical rhythm in paragraphs. The lowercase shows two-storey forms (notably a and g) and a compact, controlled bowl structure; counters stay open despite the contrast. Overall proportions feel balanced and text-ready, with clean spacing and a slightly lively, modulated stroke that adds texture without becoming decorative.
Well suited to editorial typography where texture and sophistication are desired, such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors at comfortable reading sizes. It can also carry upscale branding and packaging, especially when set in short headlines or logotype-style wordmarks that benefit from its crisp contrast and sculpted terminals.
The tone is refined and editorial, combining a contemporary cleanliness with a faintly classical, bookish authority. It suggests seriousness and craft—more literary and cultivated than neutral—while still reading as modern and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished reading experience with added character—bringing contrast and terminal shaping to a largely clean, upright construction so it can feel distinctive in text while remaining controlled and highly legible.
Distinctive details include tapered terminals and occasional hook-like endings (e.g., on j and y) that create recognizable silhouettes. Numerals are sturdy and legible with the same contrast and rounding, aligning well with the text color in running copy.
