A clean, high-contrast roman with crisp transitions between thick verticals and fine hairlines. Curves are smooth and broadly drawn, with open counters and a steady, vertical axis that keeps text rhythm controlled. Terminals tend to finish with subtle, wedge-like shears rather than blunt cuts, lending a lightly calligraphic edge while remaining restrained. Uppercase proportions feel classical and spacious, while lowercase forms are compact and orderly with clear bowls and straightforward joins; numerals follow the same polished contrast and read with a slightly formal cadence.
This font is well suited to magazine typography, headlines, and brand identities that need a clean but elevated tone. It can also perform effectively in posters and book-cover settings where its sharp contrast and open forms can be appreciated at display sizes.
The overall tone is poised and contemporary, with an editorial polish that feels premium without becoming ornamental. Its sharp hairlines and measured spacing give it a refined, confident voice suited to sophisticated layouts.
The design appears intended to blend modern clarity with a touch of classic refinement, using high contrast and precise terminals to create a premium, editorial feel while staying broadly versatile.
The design’s contrast makes stroke junctions and punctuation-like details (such as the t crossbar and curved descenders) visually prominent, contributing to a crisp texture at larger sizes. Round letters maintain a consistent, smooth curvature that reinforces a calm, balanced color on the page.
