This typeface uses a high-contrast stroke model with hairline-thin joins and terminals paired with sturdier verticals and bowls. Letterforms are upright and relatively narrow in their internal spacing, with a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic modulation visible in curves and diagonals. Counters are clean and open, while many endings resolve into tapered, pointed terminals rather than blunt cuts. The overall drawing feels precise and crisp, with slender crossbars and fine details that become more prominent at display sizes.
It performs best in display typography where its contrast and delicate hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and journal titling, brand wordmarks, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the thin strokes.
The tone is polished and cultured, combining a fashion/editorial sophistication with a modern, uncluttered restraint. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the straightforward upright stance keeps it composed and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast voice with clean, contemporary structure—aimed at premium communication where elegance and sharpness matter more than utilitarian small-size robustness.
Round letters show smooth, continuous curvature with noticeable thick–thin transitions, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) read as taut and angular. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with light horizontal elements and more assertive vertical strokes, giving figures a refined, display-oriented feel.
