A sculpted, contrasted roman with flared terminals and tapered joins that give strokes a calligraphic, pen-made rhythm. Bowls and rounds are smooth and generously open, while verticals read crisp and steady; curves often thin dramatically as they turn, creating a lively, shimmering texture in text. Proportions are moderately wide with a clear, even baseline presence, and counters remain uncluttered despite the stylized stroke modulation. Numerals echo the same logic with elegant curves and fine hairline transitions.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where its contrast and tapered terminals can be appreciated. It also works effectively for brand marks, beauty/fashion packaging, and cultural posters that benefit from a refined, high-end voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at comfortable sizes with ample leading to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, combining a contemporary fashion sensibility with a subtle classical, inscription-like refinement. Its contrast and tapered endings lend it a premium, editorial feel that reads as calm, polished, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a clean, modern silhouette while introducing expressive stroke modulation and flared terminals for a more luxurious, crafted impression. The intent appears to balance readability with a distinctive, editorial personality that stands out in titles and identity work.
Several forms feature distinctive, flared stroke endings and curved entry/exit strokes, which can add personality at display sizes while making long passages feel more rhythmic than purely neutral. The design’s character comes primarily from its tapering and modulation rather than added decoration.
