This typeface uses razor-thin hairlines against strong vertical stems to create a striking, high-fashion contrast. Forms are clean and largely unadorned, with minimal terminal shaping and a smooth, polished curve quality. Uppercase proportions feel tall and statuesque, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with tight apertures in places (notably in e/c) and compact joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, cut-from-metal logic, emphasizing straight strokes and controlled, elegant curves.
It performs best in large-format settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where the dramatic stroke modulation is a feature rather than a constraint.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, projecting a glossy editorial confidence. Its extreme refinement and crisp edges give it a premium, runway-ready feel, with enough restraint to read as contemporary rather than nostalgic.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, luxury-leaning contrasted voice with sharp structure and a refined finish. Its emphasis on hairline detailing and bold vertical rhythm suggests an intention to stand out in display typography while maintaining a controlled, contemporary cleanliness.
At display sizes the contrast reads as intentional and glamorous, while the thinnest strokes and delicate diagonals can visually fade at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The font’s rhythm depends heavily on its bold verticals, which creates a strong left-to-right cadence and a distinctly polished texture in headlines.
