This typeface presents as a high-contrast Latin with sculpted, flared terminals and a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and terminals often resolve into sharp, tapered points, giving many letters a chiseled, blade-like finish. Proportions feel slightly generous in the capitals with rounded bowls and controlled apertures; the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear counters and a moderately compact color on the page. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with elegant curves and pointed terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Well suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and sharp detailing can carry the typographic voice. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined, high-end feel, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, balancing classic elegance with a slightly dramatic, cutting edge. It reads as literary and premium, with enough sharpness to feel modern while still leaning on traditional calligraphic cues.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a contrast-driven, calligraphic sans with flared terminals—prioritizing elegance, texture, and distinctive silhouette for display-led typography.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals create a lively texture that suits larger sizes best, where the crisp details and pointed finishes remain clear. The diagonal stress and sculpted shapes add movement and emphasis without introducing overt ornament.
