A contrasted, upright text face with crisp, sharply tapered terminals and a strong vertical stress. Strokes move from thin hairlines to sturdy stems, with tight, controlled joins that keep counters open and forms clean at display sizes. Proportions lean slightly narrow and tall, with compact sidebearings that create an energetic rhythm in running text. The design mixes straight, architectural verticals with subtly flared strokes and wedge-like endings, giving the alphabet a sculpted, print-oriented finish.
Well-suited to editorial settings where contrast and a refined rhythm are desirable, such as magazines, book covers, and pull quotes. It can carry headlines and subheads with a premium feel, and works in short-to-medium text passages where crisp rendering and clear letterforms are important. The strong stroke modulation makes it especially effective in larger sizes for branding, posters, and titling.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing seriousness with a touch of drama from the pronounced contrast. It reads as traditional and literary rather than casual, evoking book typography and polished publishing design. The sharp terminals and disciplined rhythm add a formal, authoritative voice suited to high-end layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, publication-ready voice that combines modern cleanliness with classical contrast. Its sharp terminals and controlled proportions suggest a focus on elegant readability and a distinctive, high-end texture on the page. Overall, it aims to provide an authoritative display-and-editorial workhorse rather than an informal utility face.
Uppercase forms show confident, upright construction with decisive diagonals and pointed apexes, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation through varied terminal shapes and pronounced ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and crisp joins that align visually with the text color of the alphabet.
