A high-contrast roman with sharp, tapered hairlines and fuller vertical stems, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm across lines of text. Curves are clean and rounded with a slightly sculpted feel, and joins often show gentle bracketing rather than abrupt transitions. Capitals are stately and wide-set with clear stroke modulation; diagonals and terminals frequently resolve into fine points or narrow wedges. Lowercase forms keep a traditional text-like construction with compact counters and a steady baseline, while figures mix straight, upright forms with rounded, oldstyle-like curves and pronounced contrast.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where high contrast and refined detailing are desirable. It can also support brand wordmarks and formal communications that benefit from a classic, authoritative texture, especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines stay visible.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing elegance with firmness. Its strong contrast and sharp detailing evoke a classic, editorial voice—confident, composed, and slightly dramatic without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, clean take on a classic roman voice: strong contrast for sophistication, sharp terminals for clarity, and balanced proportions for confident display and editorial use.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving words a sparkling, engraved quality. The design maintains consistent contrast behavior across rounds and straights, which helps paragraphs look cohesive despite the lively stroke modulation.
