A clean, contrasted design with slender hairlines and more pronounced vertical strokes, producing a crisp, high-clarity rhythm. Curves are smooth and generous, with rounded bowls and open apertures, while terminals often taper into subtle, pointed endings rather than blunt cuts. Proportions feel slightly classical in their balance: capitals are stately and wide enough to breathe, and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with clear ascenders and descenders. The numerals and punctuation-like forms shown follow the same refined contrast, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-end voice. It can perform in short to medium passages when set with comfortable size and leading, and it especially shines in display settings such as posters, covers, and luxury-leaning packaging where its contrast and tapering can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and elegant, with a fashion/editorial sensibility driven by delicate hairlines and graceful tapering. It reads as modern and composed rather than playful, lending a premium, gallery-like quietness to headlines and text alike.
The font appears designed to bring a polished, contemporary elegance to a clean, minimally ornamented letterform, using contrast and tapered terminals to add sophistication without relying on overt decorative features. The consistent modulation across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention to work as a cohesive system from display to text.
In the text sample, spacing and stroke modulation create a smooth line-to-line color that stays light and readable, with distinctive, gently calligraphic moments in curved letters and diagonals. The design’s fine details are most apparent at larger sizes, where the tapered terminals and contrast become a defining characteristic.
