This typeface is built around clean, upright forms with pronounced stroke contrast and subtly flared terminals that read as controlled, serifless finishing rather than fully bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly sculpted, with open, rounded counters and a steady baseline rhythm. The capitals feel compact and disciplined, while the lowercase shows a clear, legible structure with a two-storey “g” and “a”-like forms that maintain the same crisp, tapered logic. Figures appear lining and text-ready, mixing straight stems with gently swelling curves for a polished, print-oriented texture.
It performs best in headlines and short-to-medium editorial settings where contrast and sculpted terminals can add sophistication. The steady letterforms and open counters also make it suitable for branding, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and poster typography where a refined, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is editorial and composed, suggesting refinement without ornament. It feels confident and slightly formal, with a crisp, contemporary finish that still nods to classic book typography through its contrast and careful shaping.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern reading of high-contrast letterforms without relying on overt serifs—balancing sharpness and elegance for editorial clarity and premium presentation.
Diagonal letters (like V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn with clean joins, contributing to a taut, high-definition texture. Round letters (O, Q, 0) are stable and evenly proportioned, and punctuation in the sample text reinforces a neat, no-nonsense voice at display sizes.
