A high-contrast, upright text face with tall proportions and a relatively modest x-height. Strokes transition from fine hairlines to heavier verticals, giving letters a crisp, engraved feel without heavy ornament. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are mostly clean and tapered, and counters are open; the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with noticeably slender bowls and stems. Figures align with the same contrast pattern, with delicate diagonals and slim curves that read best at larger sizes.
It performs well in display and editorial settings such as headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and book cover titling where its contrast and tall proportions can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding and packaging when used at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—restrained and elegant rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and vertical stance suggest formality and a slightly classical, editorial voice that feels suited to curated, premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary take on high-contrast letterforms—prioritizing elegance and clarity while keeping decoration minimal. The overall system emphasizes a refined page color and a poised, vertical silhouette suitable for premium editorial typography.
In longer text the strong thick–thin modulation creates sparkle and a refined texture, while the slender forms can appear delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution output. The uppercase has a stately presence, and the lowercase maintains a disciplined, linear flow with minimal flourish.
