A crisp, high-contrast roman with strongly vertical stems and very thin hairlines. The shapes are upright and relatively open, with taut curves and sharp apexes on forms like A, V, W, and Y. Terminals tend toward clean, decisive finishes, while stroke transitions are abrupt, producing a polished, print-forward texture. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy with a moderate x-height and clear counters, giving paragraphs a rhythmic, slightly formal cadence.
Well suited to editorial design, book covers, pull quotes, and headline settings where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support upscale branding and packaging when used at display sizes, while longer passages benefit from comfortable leading and careful color management.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a fashion-adjacent, upscale edge. Its sharp contrast and controlled geometry feel confident and composed rather than casual, lending text a deliberate, curated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on a classic high-contrast roman, emphasizing sharp structure, verticality, and a clean, contemporary finish for editorial and branding contexts.
In running text the high contrast creates a bright-and-dark shimmer, especially around joins and thin horizontals, so it reads most comfortably when given adequate size and spacing. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and narrow joins that reinforce the sophisticated texture.
