A sculpted, display-oriented text face with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems are sturdy while joins and terminals taper into sharp, wedge-like ends, giving many letters a carved, calligraphic finish despite the overall clean silhouette. Counters are relatively open and the curves are taut, with tight inner apertures in forms like S and g that add density and rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable structure with a single-storey g and energetic, angled terminals that keep the texture lively in paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when generous sizing and spacing are used, and it lends a premium voice to branding, packaging, and event materials.
The overall tone is editorial and upscale, balancing authority with a touch of theatrical flair. The sharp terminals and high contrast lend a refined, premium feel that reads as confident and formal rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, high-impact reading experience with a distinctly editorial texture. By combining sturdy stems with tapered, wedge-like terminals, it aims to feel both modern in silhouette and traditionally crafted in detail.
In longer text the face produces a strong, dark color with clear vertical rhythm; the pointed terminals and narrow joins add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals align with the same sculpted logic, with curvy figures like 3 and 8 showing pronounced modulation and crisp tapering at ends.
