A high-contrast text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in places, with smooth oval rounds (C, O, Q) and confident vertical stress. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact apertures and a lively rhythm; joins and curves are carefully shaped, giving letters a slightly calligraphic, sculpted look. Numerals match the text color well, mixing straight spines with rounded bowls and thin hairline details for a consistent, elegant texture.
Works well for magazine headlines and subheads, book covers, and premium branding where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. It also holds together in short passages of text, especially in larger sizes where the thin strokes remain clearly visible.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, leaning traditional and authoritative rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and controlled curves convey sophistication and seriousness, suitable for established brands and reading-focused design.
Designed to deliver an elegant, high-contrast reading and display texture with a classic, editorial sensibility. The letterforms balance smooth geometry with sharp, tapered detailing to create a composed, upscale tone in both titles and running text.
Round letters stay open and clean despite the contrast, while diagonals (V, W, X, y) come to fine points that add sparkle at display sizes. The sample text shows a steady baseline and consistent spacing, producing a composed paragraph color with subtle typographic “snap” from the thin strokes.
