A high-contrast, upright text face with a strong vertical axis and crisp transitions between thick stems and hairline strokes. Letterforms are compact and controlled, with relatively narrow apertures and clean, sharp terminals that often resolve into small wedge-like endings. Curves are smoothly drawn and tensioned, while diagonals (as in V, W, and K) read lean and precise against heavier verticals. The lowercase shows tall ascenders, a two-storey a and g, and a restrained rhythm that stays even despite the dramatic stroke modulation; numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction with clear, traditional proportions.
Well suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, book or report titles, and brand wordmarks where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also serve in premium print materials like invitations or packaging, particularly at sizes where the hairlines remain clearly visible.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, balancing elegance with authority. Its strong contrast and sharp detailing lend a sense of formality and sophistication, while the steady proportions keep it from feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast reading of classic letterform proportions—prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a composed page color for editorial and brand-led typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine joins become a defining feature, giving the face a polished, engraved-like crispness. In dense settings, the tight apertures and thin horizontals contribute to a focused, slightly serious texture.
