A high-contrast, upright roman with crisp, hairline-thin connecting strokes and pronounced thick verticals. Curves are smooth and tightly drawn, producing clean ovals and bowls, while terminals often end in sharp, tapered points rather than blunt cuts. Proportions feel display-forward: capitals are tall and commanding, lowercase is compact but clear, and the overall rhythm alternates between dense strokes and delicate lines for a polished, graphic look. Numerals echo the same contrast and pointed detailing, reading as elegant figures suited to titling.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where the contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can add a premium, fashion-forward feel to packaging and event materials, and works well for large-format posters and elegant titling where crisp hairlines remain intact.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-oriented tone—sleek, confident, and slightly theatrical. Its razor-thin hairlines and sculpted curves convey luxury and precision, giving text a curated, high-end atmosphere. The sharp terminals add a modern edge that keeps it from feeling purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a refined display roman—prioritizing striking contrast, sculpted silhouettes, and memorable letterforms for branding and editorial impact.
Several letters show distinctive, stylized gestures (notably in curved characters and diagonals), creating a sense of motion and bespoke craft. The extreme contrast makes spacing and line breaks feel visually prominent, so the type naturally draws attention in short runs and large sizes.
