A refined, high-contrast typeface with sculpted, calligraphy-informed curves and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes transition quickly from hairline thins to fuller verticals, creating a crisp rhythm and a polished, print-like texture. Proportions feel classical, with narrow joins and open counters that keep letters clear despite the delicate thins. The capitals are stately and evenly spaced, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, slender entry/exit strokes, and a gently modulated baseline presence.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book covers, and pull quotes where its contrast can read as intentional sophistication. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classic feel, and formal pieces like invitations or certificates when used at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, leaning toward classic publishing and luxury cues. Its high-contrast modulation and fine detailing give it a confident, formal voice that feels suited to sophisticated, text-forward settings.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, polished take on classic high-contrast letterforms, prioritizing elegance and a refined reading texture over utilitarian neutrality. The consistent stress and tapered finishing suggest an intention to evoke traditional print craft in contemporary layouts.
Round letters like O and C emphasize vertical stress, and many forms feature subtle flaring or wedge-like finishing rather than blunt cuts. Numerals echo the same contrast and refinement, reading best when given enough size or print-quality rendering to preserve the hairline details.
