A high-contrast, upright roman with wide proportions and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes shift from hairline-thin connections to robust verticals, creating a crisp rhythm and sparkling texture in text. Terminals tend to be sharp and slightly flared or wedge-like rather than fully bracketed serifs, and curves are drawn with taut, sculpted tension. Round forms stay fairly open, while joins and diagonals show subtle angularity that adds snap and precision.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and width can be appreciated. It can also work for short text passages at moderate sizes with careful spacing, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital environments.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, with a dramatic, fashion-forward elegance. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves suggest luxury and sophistication, while the wider stance keeps it confident and contemporary rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to blend a modern, serifless silhouette with classic high-contrast writing dynamics, delivering an elegant display voice that reads as both contemporary and premium.
In longer lines, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a lively, shimmering color that benefits from comfortable tracking and generous line spacing. The italics are not shown; the displayed forms emphasize a clean, upright presence with expressive stroke modulation.
