A high-contrast text and display face with razor-thin hairlines and rounded, swelling strokes that create a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Curves are built from smooth circular/elliptical forms, while terminals often taper to sharp points or delicate hooks, giving many letters a chiseled, drawn-with-a-pen feel. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and compact bowls; the overall texture alternates between dense verticals and airy counters. Proportions vary noticeably across glyphs, with wide rounds (O, Q, 0) and slimmer vertical letters, producing a lively, non-monotone word shape.
Best used for headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and branding where the high-contrast construction can be appreciated. It can also work for elegant packaging or invitations, especially in larger sizes; for long passages, it will benefit from generous size, leading, and high-quality reproduction.
The tone is elegant and image-conscious, with a dramatic, luxe contrast that reads as editorial and fashion-forward. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves add a touch of sophistication and theatricality, suited to polished, high-end communication rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The type appears intended to bring classic high-contrast elegance into a cleaner, more contemporary silhouette, balancing smooth geometric rounds with calligraphic tapering. Its design prioritizes refined display impact and distinctive word shapes over purely functional text uniformity.
The design relies on fine stroke detail—particularly in joins, cross-strokes, and the tapered diagonals—so clarity is strongest when size and output resolution allow the hairlines to remain intact. Numerals follow the same contrast and curvature, with prominent round forms and delicate entry/exit strokes that align with the letterstyle.
