A contrasted sans with tall, condensed proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and heavier verticals, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture without true serifs. Curves are clean and geometric, with rounded bowls and tight apertures; terminals often finish in straight cuts or subtle flares. Several forms incorporate distinctive inline/negative details and split strokes (notably in letters like A and O), adding a decorative, display-forward character while keeping overall construction disciplined and upright.
Best used for headlines, titling, and short blocks of text where its high contrast and decorative details can stay crisp. It works especially well for fashion/editorial layouts, brand marks, packaging, and event posters that benefit from a sleek, vintage-modern voice.
The tone is refined and theatrical, combining modern minimalism with vintage Deco-inspired glamour. Its sharp contrast and ornamental interior details read as luxe and curated, suited to design that wants sophistication with a hint of spectacle.
The design appears intended as a display sans that merges geometric construction with Art Deco ornamentation. The goal seems to be delivering a distinctive, upscale identity through dramatic contrast, condensed proportions, and memorable inline details while remaining clean and contemporary.
The contrast is strong enough that spacing and size materially change the look: at larger sizes the hairlines and internal cut-ins become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the thins may visually recede. Numerals mirror the same tall, streamlined construction, with simplified, graphic counters.
