A contrasted text face with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with narrow proportions and tight internal counters that give lines of text a dense, emphatic rhythm. Terminals tend to sharpen into wedges or fine points, while curves and bowls are smooth and controlled, producing a polished, sculptural silhouette. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant joins and slender hairlines that reinforce the type’s refined, print-like character.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion or luxury branding, packaging, and poster typography where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially when layout allows comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone feels editorial and upscale, balancing authority with a fashionable sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and pointed detailing suggest sophistication and a deliberate, curated voice rather than casual or utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end, editorial presence through strong contrast, compact proportions, and sharpened terminal details, creating a distinct voice that stands out in titles and branded applications.
In the sample text, the strong verticals and hairline joins create striking word shapes, especially in capitals and punctuation-heavy lines. The contrast and narrow build make it most comfortable when given sufficient size and spacing so the fine strokes remain clear.
