A crisp, high-contrast roman with sculpted strokes and sharp, tapering terminals. The design pairs sturdy vertical stems with hairline horizontals and joins, creating a strongly modulated rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are rounded yet controlled, with occasional wedge-like entries and pointed tips that give letters a carved, chiseled feel. Proportions are slightly compact in the lowercase with a steady x-height, while capitals read stately and disciplined; figures show the same thick–thin logic and clear silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, and display typography where the contrast can provide impact and sophistication. It can also work for short to medium passages in print-oriented settings, especially when ample size and line spacing allow the fine strokes to stay clear.
The overall tone is editorial and refined, projecting confidence and formality with a touch of drama. Its stark modulation and crisp finishing details evoke a premium, print-forward sensibility suited to high-end or cultural contexts rather than casual UI voice.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, print-classic voice: clean structure and disciplined proportions combined with pronounced stroke modulation for elegance and emphasis. The design prioritizes striking typographic color and refined detail for prominent, high-visibility use.
Spacing appears measured and even in text, supporting continuous reading while keeping a lively sparkle from the hairlines. Round letters (like O/C) maintain smooth bowls, while diagonals and joins (as in V/W/K) feel precise and slightly calligraphic, reinforcing the sharp, polished character.
