A crisp, high-contrast roman with sculpted strokes and clean, unbracketed serifs that read as sharp and modern. Curves are smooth and round with a pronounced vertical stress, while terminals finish decisively, giving letters a carved, print-like clarity. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with generous internal space in letters like C, O, and Q; diagonals in V, W, X, and Y are taut and angular. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between stems and hairlines, with a two-storey a and g and compact, neatly weighted joins throughout.
It performs especially well in editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and article layouts where contrast and clean letterforms add sophistication. The sturdy capitals and clear numerals also make it a good choice for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that need an established, professional tone.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a confident, editorial voice. The strong contrast and crisp finishing lend it a formal, premium feel suited to established brands and print-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast reading face: elegant enough for display, but structured and consistent for sustained text. Its controlled rhythm and crisp details aim for a balance of refinement and everyday usability in editorial typography.
The figures appear lining and proportionally aligned with the capitals, keeping numerals prominent in text. Punctuation and spacing in the sample suggest a steady rhythm geared toward clarity at display and text sizes, with particularly clean silhouettes in round letters and strong, stable verticals.
