A high-contrast display face with crisp, sharpened terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that read as serifless at a glance but behave like tapered wedges. Curves are broad and smooth while joins and corners resolve into pointed, blade-like tips, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are wide with generous counters, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with compact, sculpted bowls. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with distinctive curved tails on figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short display copy where its contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly. It works well for magazine mastheads, book and album covers, fashion or cultural posters, and branding marks that need a refined but distinctive voice.
The overall tone feels dramatic and editorial, balancing elegance with a slightly theatrical, fashion-forward edge. The sharp terminals and pronounced contrast give it a confident, attention-seeking presence suited to statement typography rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, stylized take on contrast-driven lettering: clean and upright in construction, but energized by calligraphic tapering and pointed terminals. It aims to stand out through sculpted stroke endings and a strong editorial rhythm rather than neutral text clarity.
In longer text the strong thick–thin pattern creates a shimmering texture, especially where many tapered strokes repeat. The pointed terminals and flared ends provide strong character at larger sizes, while finer hairlines and tight internal details suggest more careful spacing and sizing for small settings.
