A high-contrast, upright text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The capitals are relatively tall and stately, with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W, X) and clean, slightly calligraphic joins. Lowercase forms show a traditional text rhythm: a two-storey a and g, narrow arches in n/m, and a slender, slightly arched f with a small crossbar. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that create a bright, airy internal texture at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine titling, and book-cover typography where high contrast can contribute drama and refinement. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, premium voice, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone feels editorial and polished, leaning toward classic bookish sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Strong contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of seriousness and authority, while the refined curves keep it poised and elegant.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a classic, publication-ready feel with strong typographic hierarchy: bold vertical emphasis, elegant hairlines, and structured proportions that maintain clarity while projecting sophistication.
The design reads best when given enough size and resolution for its hairlines; in tighter settings the fine strokes can visually recede compared with the heavier stems. Round letters like O/C/G show smooth, controlled curves that balance the more angular diagonals, producing a steady, composed cadence in running text.
