A high-contrast display face with crisp, tapered strokes and sharp terminals that create a carved, calligraphic feel within a largely clean, serifless silhouette. Curves are smooth and controlled, with teardrop-like joins and pronounced modulation that makes rounds (C, O, G) feel glossy and sculptural. Proportions read slightly condensed in places with lively, varied letter widths, and the overall rhythm alternates between hefty verticals and hairline connectors. Numerals echo the same dramatic contrast and pointed finishes, giving them a distinctive, poster-ready presence.
Best suited to headlines, covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and tapered detailing can read clearly. It can work for short editorial passages at generous sizes and leading, especially in luxury, fashion, and culture contexts, but will be most effective when given room to breathe.
The tone is sleek and editorial, balancing elegance with intensity. Its dramatic stroke contrast and razor-clean endings suggest luxury and contemporary style, with a confident, headline-forward voice rather than a neutral text tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion display voice—combining clean construction with pronounced modulation to achieve a sharp, premium look that stands out in titles and identity work.
At larger sizes the hairline elements and tight interior joins become a defining feature, producing sparkling texture in mixed-case settings. The uppercase feels particularly commanding, while the lowercase maintains the same high-contrast logic, keeping the texture consistent across paragraphs and short lines.
