A sharply drawn, high-contrast roman with long, elegant proportions and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Strokes swing between hairline-thin and boldly weighted, with crisp joins and wedge-like terminals that read as serifless cuts rather than bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, counters tend toward oval, and the overall rhythm is brisk—thin horizontals and diagonals emphasize sparkle while heavier verticals anchor the forms. Lowercase shows a double-storey g, compact bowls, and a narrow, vertical t with a light crossbar; numerals follow the same contrast model with fine entry strokes and prominent main stems.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where the high contrast can read clearly and add sophistication. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially in print contexts where the fine strokes can be preserved, and for premium packaging or event materials that benefit from a sharp, upscale voice.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with the kind of contrast and sharpness associated with luxury, fashion, and magazine typography. Its bright hairlines and sculpted thick strokes create a confident, attention-grabbing presence that feels refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast display voice with editorial authority—pairing a clean, serifless terminal treatment with classical, calligraphic modulation for a luxe, contemporary look.
At larger sizes the hairline details become a defining feature, giving the face a shimmering texture. The capitals feel particularly stately and graphic, while the lowercase maintains a more text-like structure but still carries a pronounced display character due to the contrast and thin connections.
