A striking, high-contrast display face built around broad proportions and crisp geometry. Strokes swing between hairline thins and bold verticals, with smooth curves and sharply tapered joins that create a carved, sculptural feel. Terminals often finish in subtle flares and knife-like points rather than traditional bracketed serifs, producing a clean but emphatic silhouette. The rhythm is spacious and stately, with large counters and a clear baseline presence; lowercase forms remain readable while keeping the same dramatic stress and contrast as the capitals. Numerals echo the same wide stance and sharp, elegant transitions between thick and thin.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and hero typography where its high contrast and wide proportions can read as intentional and upscale. It also fits premium branding applications—logos, fashion/beauty campaigns, packaging, and signage—where a crisp, modern luxury voice is desired.
The tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward contemporary luxury rather than utilitarian text settings. Its contrast and wide stance suggest confidence and spectacle, evoking magazine typography, premium packaging, and refined brand identities.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion contrast look without relying on conventional serif detailing, using flared, pointed terminals and broad proportions to achieve elegance and impact in display typography.
The sample text shows that the design holds together well at large sizes, where the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature. In denser paragraphs, the contrast and wide letterforms create a bold typographic color and a distinctive, editorial cadence.
