This typeface uses sharply tapered strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clean, serifless terminals. Curves are drawn with a sculpted, almost calligraphic pressure pattern, creating wedge-like joins and pointed inflections in letters such as V, W, and y. Round forms (O, o, 0) read as vertically stressed with dark sides and light inner transitions, while straight-sided letters (H, I, N) maintain an even, crisp vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, narrow apertures in c/e, and long, elegant descenders (notably j, y), giving the text a lively up-and-down cadence without feeling cursive.
It performs best at display sizes where the contrast and tapering can be appreciated—headlines, magazine titling, brand wordmarks, and packaging. For longer passages, it can work in short editorial blocks or pull quotes where its vertical rhythm adds character without overwhelming the layout.
Overall, the tone is polished and stylish with a touch of theatrical contrast. The sharp tapers and sculpted curves suggest luxury and contemporary sophistication, balancing elegance with a slightly edgy, graphic bite.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward display voice using sans structures energized by calligraphic modulation. Its goal is to stand out through sculpted contrast and distinctive silhouettes while remaining legible and orderly in setting.
In text, the alternating dark verticals and fine connecting strokes create a strong stripe pattern, making spacing and word shapes feel dynamic. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with especially distinctive 2, 3, and 5 showing pronounced thin entry strokes and heavier main curves.
