A high-contrast sans with an elegant, display-oriented construction built from thick vertical strokes and extremely thin hairlines. Curves are clean and geometric, with round forms that often resolve into crisp vertical cuts, creating a distinctive light–dark rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are mostly sharp and unbracketed, and joins stay tight and controlled, producing a refined, slightly modular feel. Proportions run on the wider side with generous counters, while the overall drawing remains upright and disciplined.
Best used for headlines, subheads, and short display lines where the extreme contrast can be appreciated. It suits magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, poster typography, and elegant packaging, especially in large sizes or high-resolution print/digital settings.
The face reads as polished and editorial, mixing modern minimalism with a dramatic, luxury-like contrast. Its alternating bold pillars and whisper-thin connections create a sense of sophistication and theatricality, suited to contemporary fashion and culture contexts rather than utilitarian text work.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a distinctive, contemporary display voice by exaggerating contrast and vertical structure while keeping details minimal and sans-like. The goal seems to be a memorable, premium texture that stands out in titles and branding without relying on decorative serifs.
The design leans heavily on vertical emphasis: many letters feature solid vertical stems contrasted against faint cross-strokes, which makes the texture lively but also sensitive to size and reproduction. Numerals and punctuation follow the same logic, with thin curves and strong straight strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
