This typeface is a high-contrast roman with tall proportions and a crisp, polished finish. Vertical strokes carry most of the weight, while horizontals and connecting strokes fall away to hairlines, creating a sleek, engraved rhythm. Terminals are clean and controlled, counters are fairly open, and the overall texture reads light and bright despite the strong main stems. The lowercase shows classic, double-storey forms (notably a and g) and a compact, disciplined structure that keeps lines even in running text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can work for short to medium passages in print-oriented layouts, particularly when generous spacing and comfortable sizes preserve the thin strokes. It’s also a strong choice for packaging, lookbooks, and campaign graphics that benefit from a refined, high-fashion voice.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a poised, fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong thick–thin play gives it a dramatic, luxurious feel, while the restrained detailing keeps it contemporary rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast editorial look: tall, clean letterforms that feel premium and authoritative while maintaining a smooth, modern reading rhythm.
At display sizes the hairline features and fine joins become a key part of the personality, producing a glossy, high-end contrast that can look especially striking on white space. The numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with clear differentiation and a consistent, upright stance.
