This typeface presents a high-contrast, vertically oriented construction with long, tapered stems and keen wedge-like terminals that read as modernized flares rather than fully bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with pronounced thick–thin transitions in round forms and at joins. Uppercase proportions feel tall and composed, while the lowercase keeps a controlled, slightly compact rhythm with clear two-storey forms where expected (notably the g) and tight, precise apertures. Numerals are elegant and varied, with thin entry/exit strokes and strong vertical emphasis that maintains a crisp, sculpted texture in setting.
Well suited to headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a refined, high-contrast look. It also works for short editorial passages or introductions where its sharp rhythm and sculpted forms can be appreciated without overwhelming long-form readability.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical sophistication with a distinctly dramatic, contemporary edge. Its sharp terminals and energetic contrast evoke fashion and cultural publishing, where a sense of luxury and authority is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial display voice: tall, elegant letterforms with pronounced contrast and tapered terminals that signal sophistication and drama while remaining disciplined and typographically controlled.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle and a pronounced vertical cadence, especially in all-caps and at larger sizes. The narrowish letterforms and tight internal spaces can make dense paragraphs feel intense, but they contribute to a distinctive, high-impact voice in display-led layouts.
