A crisp, high-contrast text face with slender hairlines and pronounced thick strokes, set on a largely vertical axis. Forms are built from clean, continuous curves and tapered terminals, with a consistent, controlled stroke logic across capitals and lowercase. Counters are open and elegant, and round letters show smooth, near-elliptical bowls with tight joins. The lowercase uses compact, straightforward constructions (single-storey a and g), while the capitals present a slightly formal, display-leaning silhouette with sharp apexes and fine finishing details. Numerals appear proportional with strong contrast and delicate interior shaping, reading cleanly at larger sizes.
Well suited to fashion and culture editorial design, magazine headlines, brand identities, and other premium contexts where refined contrast is desirable. It also works for larger blocks of text in high-quality layouts where its delicate hairlines can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing modern clarity with a hint of classic sophistication. Its contrast and fine details create a sense of luxury and drama, making layouts feel elevated and carefully typeset.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice that feels sophisticated in both display and reading contexts, emphasizing clean geometry, controlled detailing, and an elevated typographic color.
The rhythm is even and calm, but the thin strokes and small details give it a decidedly premium, print-like presence. In paragraphs it reads as elegant and airy, while in larger settings the sharp joins and tapered ends become more expressive.
