A high-contrast display face with sculpted, calligraphic construction and crisp, sheared terminals. Stems are heavy while hairlines become extremely thin, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed joins and wedge-like cut-ins that read as elegant rather than mechanical. Spacing feels deliberate and slightly tight in heavier forms, while the thinnest strokes add airy sparkle in counters and apertures. Numerals follow the same dramatic modulation, with rounded figures anchored by firm verticals and fine connecting strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and cut-in details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, but will be more demanding at small sizes due to the extremely fine strokes.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting an editorial, high-end sensibility. Its sharp contrast and sculpted details suggest confidence and sophistication, with a hint of vintage glamour suited to headline-driven typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a polished, high-impact voice for display typography, combining classic letterform proportions with modern, razor-thin hairlines for maximum visual drama in titles and brand marks.
Uppercase forms read stately and formal, while the lowercase introduces more movement through angled entry/exit strokes and tapered finishes. The design maintains a consistent contrast logic throughout, making mixed-case settings feel cohesive and intentionally expressive.
