A contrasted display sans with flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a calligraphic, carved feel without true serifs. Curves are generously rounded while joins and terminals often resolve into sharp, tapered points, creating a lively interplay of soft bowls and crisp tips. Uppercase forms read clean and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and sweeping exits, producing an intentionally varied rhythm. Numerals follow the same tapered logic, with elegant curves and occasional needle-like corners that emphasize the font’s sculpted silhouette.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where the tapered terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially in fashion, culture, nightlife, or boutique retail contexts where a dramatic, refined voice is desired.
The overall tone feels fashion-forward and theatrical, balancing sophistication with a slightly exotic, Art Deco–leaning flair. Its high-contrast gestures and pointed terminals add drama and a sense of luxury, making the text feel curated rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast display sans that borrows from calligraphic and Deco sensibilities, prioritizing striking silhouettes and a luxurious cadence over strict neutrality. Its mix of clean caps and more expressive lowercase suggests a goal of creating memorable word shapes for branding and editorial display.
In longer settings the alternating thick–thin stress and sharp terminals create a strong texture that benefits from generous size and spacing. The distinctiveness between uppercase and lowercase adds personality, but also makes the font feel more display-oriented than utilitarian.
