A high-contrast roman with razor-thin hairlines and assertive, dark main strokes, creating a distinctly polished silhouette. Curves are taut and clean, terminals are mostly sharp and unbracketed, and the overall construction feels precise and contemporary rather than softly transitional. The caps show generous vertical emphasis and strong black/white interplay, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with delicate joins and narrow hairline details that become especially pronounced in letters like e, s, and g. Figures mix sturdy verticals with fine spurs and hairline arcs, maintaining the same dramatic contrast and crisp edge quality across the set.
It performs best in display settings where its thin hairlines and dramatic thick–thin rhythm can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, campaign headlines, and premium packaging. It is also suited to short pull quotes and large typographic statements where the crisp contrast can carry the layout.
The font projects a confident, high-fashion tone—luxurious and composed, with a theatrical edge created by the extreme stroke modulation. Its sharp refinement reads as premium and curated, lending a sense of sophistication and intentionality to headlines and short statements.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern luxury voice through extreme contrast and disciplined, sharp detailing. It balances classic high-contrast proportions with a clean, contemporary finish for impactful editorial typography.
In text, the contrast creates a lively rhythm, with hairlines that can visually recede while vertical stems dominate, producing a bold editorial color. Several glyphs show slightly calligraphic moments in diagonals and tapered strokes, adding character without becoming ornate.
