This typeface is a high-contrast display design with razor-thin hairlines paired against strong vertical stems and sharply tapered joins. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pointed terminals and wedge-like cuts that give strokes a chiseled, polished finish. Proportions feel classical with a moderately tall cap height and a relatively modest x-height; counters are open but not wide, and the rhythm alternates between bold vertical emphasis and delicate connecting strokes. Numerals mirror the same contrast and precision, with distinctive, stylized forms that read best at larger sizes.
It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It is well suited to fashion and beauty packaging, luxury branding, and poster or cover typography, and is less appropriate for long passages at small sizes where the hairlines may disappear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, projecting a premium, editorial feel. Its extreme contrast and keen edges suggest runway/fashion sensibilities and a confident, high-impact voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on classic high-contrast letterforms, optimizing for impact and elegance in display settings. Its crisp terminals, pronounced modulation, and refined proportions prioritize visual drama and a premium tone.
At text sizes the hairlines and fine joins can visually weaken, while at headline sizes the sharp modulation and pointed terminals become a defining feature. The design’s vertical stress and crisp geometry create a pronounced light–dark pattern that rewards generous spacing and clean, high-resolution reproduction.
