A refined, text-oriented design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a compact overall footprint. Stems are firm and vertical while joins and curves transition smoothly, giving counters a calm, controlled rhythm. Terminals often taper to sharp, pointed finishes, and the curves (notably in C, S, and G) show a deliberate, high-contrast calligraphic influence. Numerals and capitals keep a dignified, structured silhouette, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with moderate ascender/descender reach and clean internal spacing.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a high-contrast texture can add sophistication. It also performs strongly for display uses—headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and refined branding—where its sharp terminals and modulated strokes can be appreciated.
The font conveys an elegant, editorial tone—polished and authoritative rather than casual. Its crisp modulation and tapered details suggest tradition and craft, making it feel suited to premium, carefully typeset communication.
Likely intended to provide a compact, high-contrast reading voice that balances classic elegance with efficient spacing. The design appears aimed at delivering a polished page color and a distinguished presence in both headlines and carefully set text.
In continuous text, the narrow proportions create a tight, economical line while the contrast adds sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a composed roman with consistent vertical alignment and a measured, bookish cadence.
