A highly contrasted roman with razor-thin hairlines and dense, inky main strokes, creating a distinctly vertical, elegant rhythm. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that feel pen-informed rather than purely geometric. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous counters, while lowercase shows a bookish structure with a double-storey “g” and clear, classical proportions. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing slender diagonals with strong verticals for a crisp, display-forward texture.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster-style typography where contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but performs most confidently when given room and sufficient size to protect its hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, conveying a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves suggest prestige and sophistication, with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial display voice built on classical letterforms, emphasizing sharp contrast and refined finishing for upscale communication.
In continuous text the alternating thick–thin strokes produce a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes. Fine details such as the thin cross strokes and tapered terminals are visually delicate, so spacing and size will strongly affect perceived clarity.
