A sculpted, high-contrast display face with crisp, flared terminals and a distinctly calligraphic stroke model. Vertical stems read heavy and confident while hairlines snap to very fine, sharp joins, creating dramatic internal rhythm. Curves are taut and well-controlled, with slightly bracketed transitions and occasional tapered wedge endings that give counters a carved, chiseled feel. Lowercase forms maintain a steady x-height with compact bowls and firm apertures, while capitals feel stately and wide-set in presence, emphasizing sharp diagonals and clean symmetry.
Best suited for headlines, magazine covers, and campaign typography where contrast and precision can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and logotype work that needs a confident, upscale signature. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when set large with generous spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, with a premium editorial presence. Its sharp contrasts and refined detailing convey drama and sophistication, leaning toward luxury branding and high-end publishing rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion display voice by combining strong vertical weight with razor-thin connecting strokes and flared terminals. Its emphasis on sharp detail and sculpted forms suggests it was drawn to stand out in large sizes and make short text feel premium and intentional.
The numerals and punctuation echo the same engraved contrast, making the font feel consistent in headlines and short settings. At larger sizes the hairlines and tight joins become a key part of the personality, while the bold mass of the main strokes keeps words visually anchored.
