A high-contrast roman with sharp, clean silhouettes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while terminals tend toward tapered, wedge-like cuts that give strokes a chiseled feel. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a consistent vertical stress that reads clearly in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast rhythm, mixing sturdy verticals with thin hairlines for a polished, display-leaning texture.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially where a refined, editorial tone is desired and the type is set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, combining elegance with a slightly dramatic, couture-like presence. Its crisp contrast and sculpted terminals evoke a classic, high-end sensibility suited to refined branding and print-led design.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on a classic high-contrast roman, prioritizing striking thick–thin rhythm and clean, sculpted terminals for strong display impact while remaining orderly and readable in short text.
In text settings the contrast creates a lively sparkle, with thin horizontals and diagonals contributing to a bright, airy page color. The letterforms maintain a steady cadence despite the sharp modulation, giving headings a confident, composed voice.
