A high-contrast display face with razor-thin hairlines and bold vertical strokes, creating a sharp, glossy rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and tightly drawn, with round forms that feel polished and slightly compressed in places, while verticals remain prominent. Terminals are clean and minimal, with fine, needle-like joins in letters such as V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase shows a normal x-height with delicate, elegant bowls and a double-storey-style construction feel in several forms, producing a distinctly editorial texture at text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and hairlines can render cleanly. It also fits premium packaging and poster work that benefits from a dramatic, polished typographic voice; for long-form body text, it will typically perform better at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and premium, evoking fashion headlines, magazine typography, and luxury branding. Its dramatic stroke contrast and crisp detailing give it a confident, high-end presence that reads as modern-classic rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward display voice by pushing contrast and simplifying detailing while keeping proportions familiar and readable. Its controlled geometry and sharp hairlines aim to create an elegant, attention-grabbing texture for titles and brand-led typography.
In continuous text, the font creates strong light–dark patterning due to thick stems against very thin horizontals, so spacing and size will influence readability. Numerals match the same contrasty, stylized logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that reinforce the display character.
