A high-contrast roman with crisp, sharply tapered strokes and subtle calligraphic modulation. The letterforms show gently bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a disciplined vertical stress, with proportions that feel balanced rather than condensed or extended. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and curves are smoothly drawn, giving the design a clean rhythm in text. Numerals match the tone with strong thick–thin patterning and clear silhouettes.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine layouts, and brand systems that want a classic, cultivated feel. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and prominent titling where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. For longer passages it can work best with comfortable sizing and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, reading as confident and traditional without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp terminals and elegant contrast suggest a literary, magazine-like voice that can feel formal and composed. In larger sizes it carries a slightly dramatic, display-leaning sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic reading experience: traditional proportions paired with pronounced contrast and crisp terminals for a polished, high-end tone. It aims to bridge text usability with display-level elegance for publishing and identity applications.
Uppercase forms present steady, stately structure with pronounced contrast and pointed terminals, while lowercase maintains a readable, even cadence with distinctive, sculpted curves. The type shows a lively sparkle from the contrast, especially in round letters and diagonals, which gives headings a crisp presence.
