This typeface shows an extremely high-contrast construction with hairline horizontals and thick, rounded verticals, creating a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Curves are smooth and circular with tapered joins, while terminals tend toward clean, cut-off finishes rather than heavy bracketing. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous interior space, and the lowercase maintains a clear, readable skeleton with modest x-height and open counters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing fine cross-strokes with prominent vertical weight for a consistent texture in text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-format editorial typography where the hairlines can remain clear and the contrast becomes a feature. It also works well for premium branding and packaging that benefits from a sleek, high-end impression. For longer passages, it’s most comfortable at larger text sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing modern clarity with a classic, couture-like elegance. Its dramatic contrast and sharp details give it a premium, editorial voice that feels deliberate and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion high-contrast voice with clean geometry and a strong vertical emphasis. It prioritizes impact and sophistication, aiming for a distinctive editorial texture while keeping letterforms broadly familiar and readable.
Stroke modulation is consistent across the set, and the thin strokes are notably delicate, emphasizing a refined sparkle in large sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. In dense text, the contrast creates a lively shimmer that reads as luxurious but can feel intense if set too small or with tight spacing.
