A high-contrast roman with a crisp, chiseled feel and gently flared terminals. Strokes transition from fine hairlines to broad bowls with a subtle diagonal stress, giving the shapes a slightly calligraphic rhythm while remaining largely upright. Proportions are on the wider side with open counters and a steady baseline, and the lowercase shows modest extenders and a compact, readable x-height. Details like pointed joins in V/W, a clean two-storey a, and sharply cut punctuation contribute to a polished, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other short-to-medium settings where the contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly, such as magazine titles, book covers, and cultural posters. It can also support upscale branding and packaging when set with comfortable spacing, while long body text may require larger sizes and careful line spacing to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, combining classical refinement with a slightly dramatic sparkle from the contrast. It reads as confident and cultivated rather than casual, with a hint of bookish sophistication suited to premium branding and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on a classical contrasted roman: wide, open shapes for clarity paired with refined hairlines and flared cuts for drama. It aims to provide a distinctive editorial voice that feels premium and composed without becoming overly ornate.
The face maintains consistent contrast and terminal treatment across capitals and lowercase, producing a coherent, slightly engraved look at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same tapered logic, with curving forms (2, 3, 5, 8, 9) showing pronounced thick–thin modulation that becomes more characterful in display settings.
