A high-contrast roman with crisp, clean terminals and no visible serifs. Curves are smooth and near-circular in letters like C, O, and Q, while verticals read straight and decisive, producing a clear thick–thin rhythm across the alphabet. Proportions lean slightly narrow with generous internal counters, and spacing feels measured rather than tight. The lowercase shows a two-storey g with a prominent ear and a single-storey a, with tidy, compact joins and restrained modulation; numerals follow the same refined contrast and open, readable shapes.
This face suits editorial layouts, magazine headlines, and elegant brand systems where a refined, high-contrast texture is desirable. It can work for short to medium reading passages at comfortable sizes, and it also performs well in display applications such as titles, pull quotes, and formal announcements.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a quiet formality that suggests book typography and high-end branding rather than casual or playful settings. The sharp apexes and glossy contrast add a sense of sophistication and clarity, lending the text an assured, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, pared-back take on contrasty roman letterforms: minimal embellishment, precise drawing, and balanced proportions that prioritize clarity while still feeling luxurious.
Round letters maintain consistent optical balance, while diagonals (V, W, Y) are clean and angular, reinforcing a precise, contemporary impression. The Q’s tail is discreet and the punctuation in the sample text stays unobtrusive, helping longer passages retain an even color despite the strong contrast.
