This typeface uses crisp, sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a polished, high-contrast texture. Curves are smooth and rounded but finish in pointed, blade-like terminals rather than soft serifs, giving the forms a sculptural, cut-paper feel. Proportions run broad with generous set widths, while vertical strokes stay firm and straight, creating a steady rhythm in all-caps. The lowercase mixes compact counters with distinctive, slightly calligraphic shaping (notably in a, g, and y), and the numerals follow the same dramatic contrast with clean, open silhouettes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, poster titles, brand marks, and packaging where large sizes highlight its high-contrast detailing. It can also work for pull quotes or short subheads when you want a refined, high-impact typographic voice.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining modern crispness with a hint of classical display drama. It feels editorial and fashion-forward, suited to statements where contrast and silhouette are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion display look using strong stroke contrast and razor-cut terminals to create memorable silhouettes. It prioritizes impact and elegance over neutrality, offering a distinctive voice for editorial and brand-led settings.
At larger sizes the extreme contrast and needle-like joins become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes those hairline elements can visually thin out, making spacing and line length more noticeable. The design’s sharp terminals and pronounced modulation create strong word shapes, especially in titles and short phrases.
