A high-contrast, upright roman with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and rounded, while joins and apexes come to fine points, giving the shapes a sculpted, engraved feel. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and spacing reads steady in text, though individual letters show noticeable width variation typical of a display-driven serif construction. Numerals and capitals carry a prominent vertical stress and a clean, polished rhythm that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand identities that need a premium, high-contrast voice. It also works well for posters and packaging where large sizes can showcase the sharp hairlines and sculpted curves without losing detail.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, combining elegance with a slightly theatrical punch. It evokes fashion and editorial typography where contrast and sharp detailing signal sophistication and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast display lettering: strong vertical presence, elegant hairlines, and crisp terminals that create a distinctive, luxurious texture in short text.
The design’s thin strokes become hairline-fine in places (notably in diagonals and tapered ends), which heightens sparkle at large sizes and gives a strong black-and-white texture in words. The lowercase mixes compact bowls with pronounced entry/exit shaping, reinforcing a classic, print-like personality.
