A high-contrast text face with clean, tapering strokes and subtly flared terminals that read as serifless at a glance but retain a calligraphic, pen-driven modulation. Curves are smooth and generously rounded (notably in O/Q and C), with narrow joins and sharp internal corners on letters like K, N, and V that give the rhythm a crisp, chiseled feel. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly variable character widths; the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, and the figures are lining with strong contrast and elegant curves.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks where its contrast and tapered terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short to medium text in high-quality print or spacious digital layouts, especially where a light, elegant texture is desired.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining modern clarity with a quiet sense of tradition from its stroke modulation. It feels composed and premium rather than playful, lending an impression of careful typesetting and restrained sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, serifless silhouette with the sophistication and readability benefits of classical stroke modulation. It aims for a premium, publication-ready voice that stays minimal in detailing while still feeling crafted and expressive.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin contrast is especially evident in diagonals and bowls, which creates a bright page color at larger sizes. The ampersand and curved forms carry a gentle, classical elegance without ornamental flourish, keeping the voice clean and contemporary.
