A sculpted, display-leaning text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that read as subtly flared rather than purely geometric. Curves are round and full, while joins and counters are tightened to keep a compact, controlled rhythm in words. Uppercase forms feel stately and vertical, with sharp apexes and strong stem presence; lowercase shows a traditional serif-like skeleton with two-storey a and g, a brisk r, and a small, neatly rounded i/j dot. Numerals are sturdy and high-impact, with clear modulation and open interiors that hold up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine identities, poster titles, and branding systems that want a classic-yet-sharp voice; for extended reading, it will benefit from size and spacing that preserve the counters and rhythm.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its contrast and sharp tapering create a sense of drama and refinement that feels premium and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, high-impact reading experience that bridges traditional letterform structure with contemporary sharpness. Its sculpted terminals and controlled proportions suggest a focus on premium display and editorial applications where personality and clarity must coexist.
In the sample text, the strong modulation and tight inner spaces create a lively, somewhat calligraphic sparkle, especially in mixed-case passages. The face rewards generous tracking and comfortable leading in longer settings, while its crisp terminals make it particularly striking in headlines.
