This typeface uses compact, geometric letterforms built from heavy vertical masses and razor-thin connecting strokes. Many glyphs feature vertical slit-like counters and cut-in notches that create a stencil/cutout impression, with crisp terminals and occasional needle-like diagonals. Curves are drawn as bold, near-circular lobes that are often bisected by narrow apertures, producing a rhythmic alternation of solid black shapes and fine white channels. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, giving lines a lively, irregular texture while maintaining a consistent, upright structure.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where strong silhouette and graphic contrast are assets. It can also work on packaging and promotional materials when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the fine internal cuts and hairline joins.
The overall tone is striking and theatrical—high-impact and editorial, with a couture, poster-driven sensibility. The extreme black–white interplay and surgical details convey precision and confidence, leaning toward a contemporary luxury mood rather than a neutral everyday voice.
The design appears intended to fuse bold geometric construction with dramatic contrast and stencil-like apertures, creating a memorable, image-forward voice for display typography. Its variable widths and distinctive internal slits suggest a focus on texture and visual rhythm across a line rather than quiet, continuous reading.
At larger sizes the hairline links, slits, and cutouts read as deliberate graphic features; in smaller text they may become delicate, so the design feels most at home when its contrast and negative-space shapes can be appreciated. Numerals echo the same cut-slit construction, keeping headings and figures visually consistent.
