A high-contrast roman with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced hairlines. Curves are smoothly drawn and balanced against sharp, triangular joins and wedge-like terminals that read as serifless but still calligraphic in flavor. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stately, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact, rhythmic forms and clear counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper, with elegant curves and delicate connecting strokes that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to display-driven work such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and poster typography where the high contrast and sharp terminals can read clearly. It can also work for short subheads or captions when set with ample size and spacing, but it is most impactful when given room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic black-and-white rhythm that suggests fashion and editorial typography. Its sharp details and thin hairlines add a sense of precision and sophistication, leaning more couture and gallery than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, serifless take on classic high-contrast lettering—combining smooth, elegant curves with razor-thin hairlines and wedge-like terminals for an editorial, premium voice. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement over purely neutral text performance.
At text sizes, the very thin horizontals and hairlines can become visually fragile, while in larger settings the tapered terminals and sharp joins become a defining stylistic signature. The stroke contrast creates strong emphasis patterns in mixed-case words, making it especially characterful in headlines and short lines.
