A high-contrast display face with sculpted, tapered strokes and pronounced wedge-like terminals. The forms are upright with broad, confident proportions and a tight, emphatic rhythm driven by thick verticals and hairline joins. Curves are smooth and weighty, counters are relatively compact, and several letters show subtle flare and sheared finishing that reads as engraved or chiseled rather than brushy. The lowercase maintains a conventional x-height feel but carries the same dramatic modulation, giving text a strong color and a distinctive, stylized texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, and brand marks where its high contrast and sculptural terminals can read large and intentional. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but longer passages will feel intense and visually busy due to the extreme modulation and dense color.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, pairing a sense of luxury with a crisp, modern sharpness. Its strong contrast and flared terminals evoke fashion mastheads and high-end branding, while the clean, upright construction keeps it contemporary rather than antique.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, premium display presence that merges contemporary proportions with sharp, engraved-like finishing. It prioritizes striking silhouette and typographic drama over neutrality, aiming for attention-grabbing titles and identity work.
In continuous text the bold stems and thin connections create a lively sparkle, especially around joins and inner counters. The digit set matches the letterforms with similarly sculpted curves and high contrast, reinforcing a cohesive, display-forward voice.
