A high-contrast, upright roman with crisp, hairline connections and strong vertical stress. The forms are generally open and generously proportioned, with smooth, round bowls offset by razor-thin joins and tapered terminals. Strokes transition abruptly from thick to thin, producing a sculpted, glossy texture; curves feel carefully controlled rather than calligraphic. Uppercase shapes read as stately and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a clean, bookish rhythm with a noticeable contrast between sturdy stems and delicate cross-strokes.
Best suited to headlines, large-format editorial typography, and brand marks where the contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short paragraphs in print-like settings, but will generally perform strongest at display sizes where hairlines and refined details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, pairing elegance with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its contrast and sharp detailing suggest premium editorial styling rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium reading of classic high-contrast letterforms—bringing a fashion/editorial sensibility through sharp hairlines, smooth bowls, and a poised, upright stance.
In running text the hairlines and fine joins become prominent, creating a sparkling, high-end texture; spacing feels relatively airy, helping the thin strokes stay legible at larger sizes. Numerals match the same contrast language, with several figures relying on delicate curves and hairline terminals for character.
