A sharply contrasted roman with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical stems dominate while horizontals and hairlines pull extremely fine, creating a bright, glossy texture in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, with compact joins and a slightly calligraphic sense of stress; counters stay open despite the contrast. Uppercase forms feel tall and stately, while the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” plus tidy, rounded dots and punctuational forms that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages where a refined, high-contrast texture is desired and reproduction is crisp enough to preserve hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and neat finishing suggest luxury, ceremony, and editorial sophistication rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice with classical proportions—prioritizing elegance, drama, and typographic sparkle for attention-leading titles and brand statements.
In running text the thin strokes and tapered joins create a sparkling rhythm, with strong figure/ground contrast and a distinctly formal cadence. Numerals appear proportionally aligned with the letterforms, maintaining the same extreme thick–thin behavior for a cohesive typographic color.
