A crisp, high-contrast roman with sharply tapered terminals and wedge-like, triangular finishing on many strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and corners tend toward pointed, chiseled forms that give the outlines a sculptural feel. The lowercase shows a moderate, readable build with narrow apertures and compact bowls, and the capitals carry an elegant, slightly engraved rhythm with pronounced thick–thin transitions. Numerals match the text color well, with clear, formal shapes and strong vertical stress.
Well-suited to magazine typography, lookbooks, and brand systems that need a refined, high-end tone. It shines in headlines, pull quotes, and display text where the sharp terminals and contrast can be appreciated, and it can also work for short-to-medium passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting a premium, fashion-forward confidence. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of sophistication and authority, making the voice feel deliberate and curated rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a contemporary, premium reading voice by combining clean construction with dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals. The intent appears to balance modern clarity with an elevated, fashion/editorial sensibility that stands out in display use while remaining structured enough for text.
At larger sizes the distinctive tapered endings and pointed joins become a defining feature, adding character and texture in headlines. In continuous text, the contrast and tight internal spaces can read a bit more formal and assertive, especially in dense settings.
