This typeface pairs extremely thin hairlines with weighty stems, producing a sharp, high-contrast texture. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with a predominantly vertical stress and crisp, unbracketed finishing. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many caps, while round forms (C, O) stay tall and elegant; the overall rhythm is driven by strong verticals and fine connecting strokes. Lowercase forms are compact and literary, with a two-storey a and g and delicate joins that emphasize the contrast in text.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-impact editorial pull quotes. It can work for short passages at generous sizes and comfortable leading where the hairline detail has room to breathe.
The tone is polished and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its stark contrast and poised proportions suggest sophistication and status, reading as fashion-forward yet rooted in classic print typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-end voice through extreme contrast and a disciplined, modernized classic structure, prioritizing visual impact and elegance in titles and featured text.
At larger sizes the hairlines and apertures read cleanly and give a striking sparkle; in dense settings the fine strokes can visually recede, increasing the sense of drama and hierarchy between thick and thin. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and look suited to display contexts.
