A crisp, high-contrast roman with slender hairlines and firmer vertical stems, producing a clean, polished rhythm on the page. Proportions are classical and slightly condensed in feel, with generous counters and smooth, continuous curves in rounds like O/C and the bowls of B/P. Terminals are finely tapered rather than blunt, and the overall detailing reads precise and controlled, with sharp joins and minimal ornament. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with delicate strokes and clear differentiation at text sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and cultural editorial layouts, display typography, and elegant branding where contrast and refinement are desired. It can also work for book jackets and short-to-medium reading settings when paired with comfortable sizing and spacing.
The tone is refined and editorial, balancing contemporary cleanliness with a bookish, literary calm. Its sharp contrast and tapered endings add a sense of luxury and formality without becoming overly decorative.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast editorial voice with classical proportions and meticulous detailing. Its design emphasizes sophistication, clarity, and a distinctive headline presence while retaining a composed text texture.
The design shows a consistent contrast model across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping long passages keep a steady texture. Distinctive moments—such as the Q’s sweeping tail and the energetic diagonals in V/W/X—add character while staying within a disciplined, typographic framework.
