This typeface presents as a crisp, high-contrast roman with pronounced hairlines and weighty verticals. Strokes taper into sharp, clean terminals and pointed joins, giving letters a chiseled, fashion-forward sheen rather than a soft calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and relatively tall capitals; rounds show smooth, controlled curves with a slightly narrow waist in letters like O and 8. The lowercase combines sturdy stems with delicate connecting strokes, producing a lively rhythm and clear differentiation between thick and thin throughout both letters and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—magazine headings, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial blocks or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, where the hairlines remain visible and the rhythmic contrast adds sophistication.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial voice. The extreme contrast and sharp finishing details convey luxury and confidence, reading as contemporary and upscale rather than rustic or casual. In text, it creates a strong visual cadence that feels curated and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion look through extreme contrast and crisp, tapered details, balancing elegant display character with enough structure to remain legible in short reading settings.
Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin cross-strokes and bold main strokes; the 4 has an especially airy, hairline construction while 8 and 9 show elegant, sculpted bowls. Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and consistent stress.
