This typeface is built from tall, condensed forms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connections. Stems are slender and vertical, with tapered entry/exit strokes and subtle flaring at terminals that reads as pen-driven rather than purely geometric. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, and many letters show delicate, slightly curled feet or hook-like terminals that create a distinctive, ornamental silhouette. The overall rhythm is consistent and measured, favoring elegant verticality and clean, unconnected letterforms.
Use it for display settings such as headlines, posters, editorial titles, book covers, and brand marks where a distinctive, high-style voice is desired. It also fits packaging and invitations that benefit from a formal, crafted look, especially when set with generous spacing and in larger sizes to preserve the fine details.
The tone is poised and dramatic, pairing a refined, formal feel with a slightly whimsical, theatrical edge. Its elongated proportions and sharp contrasts suggest boutique sophistication—suited to moments where style and atmosphere matter as much as readability.
The design appears intended to translate calligraphic contrast into a clean, upright display alphabet with a strong vertical stance and refined ornamentation. Its narrow, elongated shapes and tapered terminals prioritize elegance and character, aiming for memorable titles and identity-driven typography.
The figures follow the same tall, tapered logic as the letters, with thin joins and elegant curves that keep the set visually cohesive. At text sizes, the strong vertical emphasis and fine hairlines make it feel best as a display face rather than a general-purpose text workhorse.
