A high-contrast text face with vertical stress and crisp, finely tapered terminals. The uppercase shows sturdy proportions with controlled, slightly condensed inner counters, while the lowercase leans toward traditional text shapes with two-story forms and a clearly differentiated rhythm. Curves are smooth and measured, with bracketed joins and sharp, clean edges that keep the letterforms precise at display sizes. Figures follow the same contrast model, mixing straight-sided structure with rounded bowls for a composed, print-like texture.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, newspaper-style headlines, and book jackets—where contrast and refined curves add hierarchy and polish. It can also work for brand wordmarks or packaging that needs a traditional, authoritative feel, especially at medium to large sizes where the fine strokes stay clear.
The overall tone feels classical and editorial—confident, composed, and a bit formal. Its sharp contrast and disciplined curves suggest a literary, newspaper-like seriousness rather than a casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic reading texture: strong verticals for stability, elegant contrast for sophistication, and familiar text skeletons to keep long passages coherent and comfortable.
Spacing reads even and deliberate, creating a steady horizontal flow in paragraphs. The contrast is pronounced enough to give headlines presence, but the underlying forms remain restrained and conventional for continuous reading.
