A high-contrast display face with razor-thin hairlines and heavy, sculpted stems. Curves are smooth and elliptical, with pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives bowls and terminals a carved, glossy look. Letterforms are upright and cleanly drawn, mixing rigid verticals with sweeping arcs; several characters show tapered joins and slender, needle-like diagonals. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, contributing to a lively rhythm and a distinctly display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and sculptural forms can read clearly. It works particularly well in fashion, beauty, and culture contexts, and can add a premium tone to packaging or campaign typography when set at generous sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and contemporary, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and sharp details suggest luxury, sophistication, and a slightly theatrical presence, making text feel intentional and curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion display voice by pushing contrast and precision while keeping forms clean and upright. Variable character widths and sharply tapered details create a dynamic cadence aimed at attention-grabbing editorial and branding applications.
In longer lines the delicate hairlines and tight internal counters in some glyphs can visually thin out at small sizes, while larger settings emphasize the striking modulation and crisp silhouettes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with refined curves and slender strokes that echo the letterforms.
