A sculpted display face with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that often read as flared wedge endings rather than conventional serifs. Letterforms are broad and confident, with ample internal counters and a slightly condensed vertical rhythm created by heavy vertical strokes and hairline joins. Curves are smooth and taut, while diagonals and joins (notably in K, M, N, V, W, X) snap to sharp points with fine hairlines. Numerals and lowercase echo the same high-contrast logic, with rounded figures like 0, 6, 8, 9 showing bold outer bowls paired with delicate inner cut-ins and tight, elegant apertures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and brand marks where the contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly. It also works well for luxury packaging and poster titling, especially at sizes where hairlines and inner cut details remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and luxurious, mixing a modern, graphic presence with a subtle calligraphic sophistication. Its high contrast and sharp detailing give it a dramatic, runway/editorial feel, while the broad proportions keep it readable and authoritative at large sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion display voice by combining broad, bold silhouettes with razor-thin hairlines and flared terminals. The intention is impact and elegance rather than neutral text setting, emphasizing distinctive rhythm and refined contrast in short-to-medium strings.
The design leans on strong vertical stress and hairline cross-strokes (e.g., E, F, H, t), producing a striking rhythm in words and headlines. Some glyphs introduce distinctive angled hairline intrusions and asymmetrical curve treatments that add motion and personality without becoming decorative.
