A crisp, high-contrast roman with strongly vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines. Stems are robust and clean, while joins and terminals often finish in wedge-like, almost chiseled points that give the outlines a cut-from-metal clarity. The capitals feel stately and compact with controlled curves, and the overall rhythm is punctuated by sudden thick–thin transitions rather than soft modulation. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with two-storey a and g, a narrow, firm-shouldered n/m, and a distinctive, long-tailed y; counters are tight and well-defined, helping the design hold together at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It can also work for posters or pull quotes, especially when generous tracking and leading preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is polished and authoritative, with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its sharp modulation and formal skeleton evoke luxury publishing and classic display typography, projecting seriousness with a hint of theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, razor-clean take on classic high-contrast display letterforms—prioritizing elegance, strong vertical structure, and striking thick–thin rhythm for impactful typography.
Diagonal strokes in letters like V, W, and X thin markedly through their centers, enhancing the sparkle of the texture. Numerals mirror the same contrast and sculpted terminals, staying visually consistent with the uppercase weight and proportions.
