A high-contrast roman with razor-thin hairlines and commanding vertical stems, producing a sharp, editorial rhythm. Letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic in their modulation, with pointed terminals and wedge-like joins that create crisp edges rather than soft curves. Capitals are tall and stately, while lowercase maintains a measured, readable x-height with narrow apertures and elegant, tapering strokes in letters like a, e, s, and g. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with strong straight strokes and fine connecting hairlines that keep the overall texture light despite the bold stems.
Best used for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where its contrast can take center stage. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic—suited to high-end, image-forward communication. Its contrast and sharp terminals project confidence and precision, reading as modern elegance with a couture/editorial sensibility.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice that feels luxurious and editorial, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama over neutral text utility.
In running text, the extreme modulation creates a bright, shimmering texture with pronounced vertical emphasis. The design’s delicate hairlines and sharp details become especially prominent at larger sizes, where the pointed terminals and thin cross-strokes read as intentional, refined features rather than incidental details.
