A high-contrast display face with sharply tapered terminals and crisp, knife-like joins. Curves are drawn with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly calligraphic stress, while vertical stems read firm and clean. The shapes feel intentionally sculpted: bowls are smooth and open, counters are generous, and many letters end in pointed or wedge-like tips rather than broad slabs. Overall spacing appears balanced for headline use, with a lively rhythm created by the dramatic stroke transitions and narrow hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where contrast and fine hairlines can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and editorial design, luxury branding, beauty/fashion campaigns, posters, and premium packaging. For longer reading, it will generally perform best at larger sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The tone is polished and editorial, projecting sophistication and a sense of luxury. The strong contrast and sharpened terminals add drama and a slightly theatrical flair, while the underlying construction stays controlled and contemporary. It feels suited to environments where elegance and impact are both desired.
Likely designed to deliver a refined, high-impact voice that bridges classic contrast with a modern, sharpened silhouette. The aim appears to be an elegant display texture with distinctive pointed terminals and confident proportions that stand out in editorial and brand-forward settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while lowercase introduces more personality through more pronounced entry/exit strokes and tapered details (notably in letters like a, g, y, and z). Numerals share the same contrast and pointed finishing, keeping a cohesive, fashion-forward texture across alphanumerics.
