A wide, high-contrast roman with smooth, rounded bowls and crisp, tapered joins. Strokes shift from hairline-thin to robust verticals, creating a pronounced black-and-white rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Terminals often flare or taper rather than ending bluntly, and several letters show subtle calligraphic shaping (notably in S, J, and the diagonals of K, V, W, and X). The forms are generally open and legible with a steady, upright posture, while the numerals echo the same contrast and curved finishing, especially in 2, 3, 5, and 6.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, posters, brand marks, and premium packaging where contrast and width can be showcased. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, with a dramatic contrast that feels premium and intentionally theatrical. Its wide stance and sweeping curves add a confident, headline-driven presence, balancing elegance with a slightly sharp, contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, upscale voice by combining broad, rounded construction with pronounced stroke modulation and flared finishing. It aims for high visual impact and a polished, editorial feel rather than neutral, utilitarian text color.
In text settings the strong contrast and flared details create a distinctive texture, with prominent vertical emphasis and lively curves in the lowercase. Round letters like O and o read clean and geometric, while diagonals and joins introduce a sharper, more expressive personality. The wide proportions give generous spacing inside counters, helping larger sizes feel airy and luxurious.
