A high-contrast roman with sharp, wedge-like terminals and clean, unbracketed transitions that read as crisp rather than calligraphic. Vertical strokes are dominant and hairlines become very thin, creating a bright, glossy rhythm in text. Curves are taut and slightly angular in places (notably in C, S, and numerals), while counters stay open and well defined. The lowercase is compact with straightforward construction; details like the pointed shoulder in r and the small, precise ear/terminals on letters such as a and c reinforce a cut, sculpted feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with elegant diagonals and fine joins.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, and brand-led typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work well for packaging, invitations, and campaign graphics that benefit from a premium, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. The strong thick–thin play and knife-like terminals give it a dramatic, high-end presence that feels contemporary yet rooted in classic display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an editorial, fashion-forward serif look with striking contrast and precise, tapered detailing. Its construction prioritizes drama and refinement over neutrality, aiming for strong visual presence and a curated, upscale impression.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins become a key visual feature, producing a refined sparkle and strong word shapes. The font’s sharp terminals and pronounced contrast can create a bold texture in dense settings, making spacing and size choices especially influential on the final look.
