This typeface shows crisp, high-contrast strokes with tapered, wedge-like terminals and subtle bracketed joins that give many forms a lightly flared finish. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with vertical emphasis and clean, controlled thinning in connecting strokes, producing a polished rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented: counters are open, spacing reads even, and the numerals follow the same sharp-thick-to-thin logic with clear silhouettes.
It performs well in magazine and newspaper-style typography, book or long-form layouts, and refined headlines where contrast and crisp terminals can add character. It can also support upscale branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, polished tone.
Overall it projects a poised, editorial voice—formal without feeling ornate. The sharp terminals and contrast lend a sense of sophistication and authority, suited to cultured, bookish settings and premium presentation.
The design appears intended to blend traditional, print-oriented refinement with a clean, contemporary finish, using controlled contrast and tapered terminals to create elegance while maintaining an orderly, readable texture.
Uppercase letters carry a stately presence with strong verticals and carefully tapered ends, while lowercase forms maintain a steady, readable texture with noticeable stroke modulation. The design’s pointed terminals add clarity at display sizes, and at text sizes they contribute a crisp, lightly calligraphic sparkle.
