A high-contrast roman with sharp, tapering terminals and hairline connections that give the letters a sleek, engineered feel. Strokes shift abruptly between thick verticals and extremely thin diagonals and joins, creating a crisp, sparkling rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with clean, pointed apexes (notably in A and V/W), while the lowercase shows a tall x-height and open counters that keep text airy. Curves are smooth and controlled, with minimal ornamentation beyond subtle flares and blade-like finishing at stroke ends; numerals follow the same thick–thin logic with elegant, sweeping curves on 2, 3, and 9.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, posters, and large-format editorial typography where the extreme contrast can remain clear. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI hero text when size and rendering conditions preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and contemporary, with a runway/editorial sensibility driven by dramatic contrast and razor-thin details. It reads as luxurious and composed, leaning toward a cool, modern sophistication rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary luxury voice with maximum thick–thin drama, pairing clean roman structure with razor-like terminals to achieve a striking, editorial presence.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and tight joins, so its finest details are most apparent at larger sizes where the contrast can shine. The crisp terminals and pointed diagonals create strong silhouettes that help headings feel decisive and premium.
