This typeface features striking stroke modulation with heavy verticals and hairline-like horizontals, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Curves are broad and smooth, while terminals often taper or flare into pointed, wedge-like ends that give the letterforms a cut, sculpted feel. Proportions are generally generous and open, with round forms (C, O, Q) reading wide and stable, and a clear, upright stance throughout. The lowercase maintains a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey “g” and distinct, compact counters, while figures show the same contrast and sharp finishing, especially in the angled tops and tapered joins.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short passages where its high contrast and sculptural terminals can be appreciated. It works especially well for editorial design, fashion and luxury branding, poster typography, and premium packaging where a confident, polished presence is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, projecting a polished, high-end voice associated with magazines, luxury branding, and display typography. Its crisp contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of sophistication and assertiveness, while the smooth curves keep it refined rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast display voice with classic underpinnings, emphasizing elegance through dramatic modulation and sharp, tapered finishing. Its construction prioritizes visual impact and refined character over neutral invisibility, making it ideal for prominent typographic moments.
In text settings, the strong contrast creates pronounced horizontal sparkle and a rhythmic pattern of thick vertical strokes, which can feel energetic at larger sizes. The tapered, wedge-like terminals and angled cuts are consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, stylized identity.
