A high-contrast roman with crisp, tapered hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. The letterforms are upright and structured, with clean, sharply cut terminals and subtly bracketed joins that keep curves and stems feeling controlled rather than calligraphic. Uppercase proportions read stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase balances a moderate x-height with compact counters and refined curves. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate cross-strokes for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-size typography where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It works well for magazine layouts, luxury or beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters that need a refined, high-end voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a poised, premium feel reminiscent of fashion mastheads and cultural publishing. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details convey confidence and sophistication, leaning more formal than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion editorial look: classic roman structure modernized with extreme contrast and precise, knife-like terminals. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact over utilitarian neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, upscale presence in display settings.
In running text the thin strokes create a bright, sparkling texture, especially in diagonals and crossbars, while rounded letters maintain a smooth, even contour. The design relies on fine details, so spacing and reproduction quality will strongly influence the perceived sharpness and clarity.
