A high-contrast display face with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and sharp, tapered joins that create a carved, almost calligraphic rhythm. Strokes transition quickly from thick verticals to hairline connections, with pointed apexes and narrow pinch points in letters like V, W, and X. Curves (O, C, G, e) are smooth but tensioned, often finishing in angled cuts rather than blunt endings, giving the shapes a faceted look. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, while spacing reads open enough for headlines and short text, aided by strong, clear counters.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and identity work where the contrast and tapered details can remain crisp. It performs especially well in magazine layouts, fashion/beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters, and can work for short pull quotes or titling when given sufficient size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic—suited to upscale, editorial settings where contrast and sharp finishing details signal sophistication. It carries a modern-classic flavor: formal and stylish rather than friendly, with a slightly theatrical edge coming from its pointed terminals and hairline accents.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice without relying on traditional serifs, using wedge-like terminals and hairline transitions to create elegance and impact. Its emphasis on sharp joins, pointed diagonals, and sculpted curves suggests a focus on editorial presence and brand-forward distinctiveness.
Numerals and capitals share the same strong contrast and chiseled terminals, helping mixed typography (titles with dates or prices) feel cohesive. The lowercase shows a distinctive, constructed feel in letters like a, g, and y, where tight joins and angled cuts emphasize the font’s sharp, designed character.
