A compact, display-oriented text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical, centered rhythm. Strokes resolve into sharp, wedge-like terminals rather than soft curves, giving counters a carved, faceted feel. Curves (O, C, G, Q) are tightly drawn with deep contrast, while vertical stems remain dominant and steady, producing a dense color in text. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified forms with short extenders and a relatively even x-height, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic with crisp joins and pointed ends.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, striking pull quotes, and brand marks that need a refined but forceful voice. It also works well for short subheads and packaging-style titling where compact width and high visual impact are advantages.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, combining fashion/editorial polish with a slightly severe, engraved sharpness. It reads confident and formal, with a dramatic sparkle from the contrast that adds sophistication without becoming ornate.
The forms suggest an intention to deliver a contemporary, high-impact display face that balances elegance with strong typographic authority. The sharp terminals and concentrated proportions appear designed to create a distinctive, premium look in editorial and branding contexts.
The design’s narrow proportions and dark massing reward generous letterspacing and larger sizes, where the tapered terminals and inner shapes stay clean. In tighter settings, the strong contrast and compact counters can create a punchy, poster-like texture.
