A sharply contrasted roman with hairline connections and decisive, dark vertical stems. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that create a glossy, calligraphic sheen despite an overall constructed feel. Uppercase forms are tall and sculptural with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height and a rhythmic alternation of thick and thin. Overall proportions feel expansive and airy, and the numerals follow the same polished contrast and clean geometry.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated: magazine headlines, brand marks, beauty and fashion campaigns, premium packaging, and elegant poster titles. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The tone is poised and high-end, with a dramatic light–dark shimmer that reads as fashion-forward and editorial. Its crisp hairlines and statuesque capitals suggest luxury branding and gallery-grade typography rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary luxury voice by combining wide, airy proportions with razor-thin hairlines and assertive thick strokes, prioritizing visual impact and sophistication in display typography.
The thinnest strokes become extremely fine in places, especially at joins and diagonals, giving the design a delicate, jewel-like finish. Round letters show subtle modulation that keeps counters open and maintains a refined cadence across words and lines.
