A crisp, high-contrast display face with glossy, sculpted letterforms and a distinctly chiseled rhythm. Strokes alternate between heavy vertical masses and hairline connections, creating a bold light–dark pattern across words. Curves are smooth and rounded, while terminals often taper to fine points; several glyphs incorporate razor-thin diagonal cuts that read like incision marks. Proportions feel deliberately varied, with compact counters and tight joins that add density and punch at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, covers, and hero text where its contrast and cut-in details can read clearly. It can work well for fashion, beauty, and luxury branding, as well as poster titles and short logotypes, especially when given generous spacing and clean backgrounds.
The overall tone is editorial and fashion-forward, mixing elegance with a slightly aggressive edge. The extreme contrast and knife-like details give it a dramatic, premium feel suited to statement typography rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast statement face that merges smooth, rounded construction with sharp, incised accents. Its goal seems to be delivering a premium editorial voice with memorable, logo-like character in display settings.
The incised diagonal hairlines are a defining motif and become more noticeable in isolated caps and in words containing V/W/X/Y and similar diagonals. At smaller sizes those hairline cuts may visually recede, while the heavy strokes and tight apertures keep the texture dark and impactful.
