This typeface presents as a high-contrast roman with sharp, tapered terminals and fine hairlines set against weighty verticals. Proportions are slightly condensed-to-normal with tall capitals and a measured, readable x-height, giving text a poised vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, with bracketed transitions and pointed joins that create a crisp, chiseled silhouette; diagonals in letters like V, W, and X feel blade-like and precise. The numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and sculpted modeling, with elegant curves and pronounced stress that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and identity work where contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly. It also fits premium packaging and campaign graphics, and can work for short blocks of editorial text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classic sophistication with a contemporary, high-fashion sharpness. Its contrast and refined detailing convey luxury, restraint, and a sense of curated seriousness, making it feel more like a magazine masthead than a utilitarian text face.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast editorial voice with crisp detail and a luxurious finish. It prioritizes silhouette, rhythm, and dramatic stroke modulation for strong impact in display-driven typography.
In running text the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively texture with bright internal counters and delicate linking strokes. The lowercase shows a mix of compact, sturdy stems and lighter, more calligraphic curves, producing a slightly dynamic, varied cadence across words.
