A high-contrast, upright Latin design with sharply tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that create a chiseled, display-forward texture. Curves are drawn with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clean, rounded joins, while verticals often swell toward the mid-stroke for a sculpted silhouette. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow, curling ear on the r, and compact, bowl-led forms that keep counters clear despite the contrast. Numerals and capitals carry similar modulation, with smooth, open curves and occasional wedge-like endings that add sparkle and rhythm across lines.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and identity work where its contrast and tapered details can be appreciated. It will perform well in magazine titles, fashion or beauty branding, packaging, and short promotional lines, and can be paired with a plainer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone feels refined and theatrical—equal parts editorial polish and stylized vintage flair. Its sharp tapers and flared details suggest a curated, fashion-minded voice with a hint of Art Deco drama, making it feel more boutique than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, stylized interpretation of classic contrasted letterforms, emphasizing elegance and visual punch over neutrality. Its flared terminals and sculpted modulation aim to create distinctive word shapes for display typography.
At larger sizes the stroke modulation and tapered terminals read as intentional ornament, while at smaller sizes the finest hairlines may become delicate relative to the heavier stems. The design’s strong internal rhythm and distinctive terminals make it especially noticeable in mixed-case settings.
