This typeface uses strong stroke contrast with a crisp, print-like rhythm and a largely upright construction. Forms are broad and open, with smooth, swelling curves in round letters and tighter, more vertical stress in counters. Terminals are sharp and clean, and several letters show subtle bracketed transitions where strokes meet, giving the shapes a sculpted, slightly engraved presence. The lowercase is sturdy and readable with rounded bowls (a, b, d, o, p) and a distinctive, more calligraphic feel in letters like g, y, and the hooked j; numerals are bold and high-contrast, with a curved 2 and a descending, curved 9 that echo the font’s sweeping terminals.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion or culture magazine typography, brand wordmarks, premium packaging, and poster titling where contrast and width can carry impact. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, particularly in print-forward layouts that benefit from a refined, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, pairing classic editorial sophistication with a contemporary, high-contrast snap. It feels confident and formal, with enough drama in the thick–thin play to read as premium and attention-getting without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast voice with a premium editorial character, balancing broad proportions and crisp terminals with subtle calligraphic shaping. It aims for strong display presence while keeping letterforms familiar enough for clear reading in concise text settings.
In text, the wide set and pronounced contrast create a strong color on the page, especially at larger sizes. The sharp joins and thin hairlines suggest it will reward careful sizing and spacing in display or high-resolution applications where its detailing stays crisp.
