This typeface is built around strong thick–thin modulation, with hairline connections and boldly weighted stems that create a crisp, graphic rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while many terminals finish in sharp, angled cuts that read as chiseled rather than rounded. The uppercase shows classical proportions with prominent vertical stress and relatively narrow internal apertures in letters like C, S, and G, producing a poised, formal texture. The lowercase keeps a compact, editorial feel with a two-storey a, a distinctive ear on g, and a mix of sturdy uprights and delicate linking strokes that emphasize contrast. Numerals follow the same logic, alternating heavy main strokes with fine hairlines and pointed joins for a polished, display-forward appearance.
Best suited for headlines, decks, magazine titles, and brand statements where contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury packaging, beauty and fashion communications, and large-format posters where the refined stroke modulation reads as a design feature. For longer text, it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and high-fashion, with a dramatic contrast that feels premium and intentional. It carries an editorial sophistication—confident and formal—while the sharp terminals add a slightly assertive, contemporary edge. The texture in text feels rhythmic and stylish, prioritizing visual flair over neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-end, editorial voice through extreme stroke contrast and crisp, angled terminals. Its proportions and controlled curves suggest a focus on sophistication and elegance, while the sharper cuts and assertive detailing keep it feeling current and impactful in display typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed joins become a defining feature, giving headlines a glossy, high-impact look. In denser settings, the combination of tight apertures and hairline elements can make the color feel lively and sparkling rather than purely even, which suits display and short-form reading best.
