A highly contrasted, upright display text face with sculpted strokes that swing from hairline-thin to bold, wedge-like terminals. The overall construction feels modern and clean while borrowing calligraphic logic: curves swell and taper, and joins often resolve into sharp, triangular points. Counters are generally open and generously sized, while many glyphs show an asymmetrical stress that gives the letters a lively, chiseled rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with crisp vertical emphasis; lowercase remains readable at moderate sizes but is clearly optimized for impactful setting rather than small text.
This face performs best in headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and branding where large sizes let the hairlines and sharp terminals stay crisp. It’s well-suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty identities, event posters, and premium packaging where dramatic contrast can carry the visual hierarchy.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, dramatic, and confident. Its sharp transitions and hairline detailing read as premium and curated, adding a sense of sophistication and tension that suits headline-driven design.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, clean silhouette with couture-level contrast—pairing minimalist structure with calligraphic tapering to create a striking display voice. It aims to stand out through dramatic thick–thin rhythm while maintaining controlled proportions and a polished finish.
The strongest character comes from the pronounced tapering and pointed terminals, which create sparkling highlights in large sizes but can become delicate in dense settings. Numerals follow the same contrast and sharp-terminal language, keeping display typography cohesive across headings and figure-heavy layouts.
