A high-contrast, upright roman with crisp hairlines and substantial vertical stems, producing a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. The forms are predominantly rational and compact, with sharply tapered terminals and minimal curvature where strokes meet, yielding a clean, etched look. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in texture, while lowercase shows clear differentiation between round and straight elements, with a two-storey “g” and a delicate, precise “e.” Numerals mirror the same contrast and sharp finishing, keeping the overall color bright and punctuated by thin joins and counters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its high contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It performs particularly well in magazine-style layouts and poster typography, and can be effective for short bursts of text when ample size and spacing are available.
The tone is polished and editorial, with a poised, fashion-forward elegance. Strong contrast and sharp terminals add drama and sophistication, evoking luxury print, headline typography, and high-end branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, modern-classic voice through strong stroke modulation and precise finishing. It prioritizes visual sophistication and typographic sparkle, aiming to elevate titles and branding with a distinctly editorial character.
In text, the contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes where hairlines remain visible and the stroke modulation reads as intentional detail. The design maintains consistent vertical stress and a disciplined cadence, with distinctive uppercase shapes that give words a formal, display-oriented presence.
