A high-contrast roman with crisp, hairline connections and weight concentrated in verticals and main stems. Curves are smooth and round but cut with sharp terminals, and the overall drawing feels tightly controlled and clean rather than ornate. Capitals read broad and stately, with pointed joins in letters like A, M, N, V, and W, while several lowercase forms show compact bowls and tapered entry/exit strokes that add a subtle calligraphic snap. Figures are elegant and display-oriented, with thin horizontals and pronounced thick–thin transitions that emphasize a polished, print-like texture.
Best used for headlines, magazine and book titling, fashion or luxury branding, and packaging where the high contrast can shine at larger sizes. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes, but will generally be most comfortable when given space and sufficient size to preserve the hairline detail.
The tone is premium and editorial, combining classical poise with a slightly dramatic edge from the extreme contrast and sharp finishes. It feels suited to high-end branding and sophisticated headlines, projecting confidence and formality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on a classical display roman—prioritizing sharp contrast, refined proportions, and a clean, curated finish for premium typography.
In text settings the rhythm is lively: dense dark strokes are punctuated by very fine hairlines, creating sparkle and a sense of precision. The punctuation and numerals share the same refined contrast, reinforcing a cohesive, upscale voice.
