A high-contrast, upright sans with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a sharp black-and-white rhythm across lines. Curves are clean and taut, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that feel pen-influenced while staying largely unadorned. Proportions are tall and elegant, with a relatively compact x-height against prominent ascenders/descenders; counters are open and the overall spacing reads airy despite the heavy thick strokes. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate connecting hairlines for a refined, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, and short-form text where its contrast and fine details can remain intact. It fits magazine layouts, luxury and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work where an elegant, high-fashion voice is desired.
The tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a couture/editorial sensibility with a hint of calligraphic sophistication. Its stark contrast and crisp detailing feel premium and curated, suited to statements rather than utilitarian reading.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, minimalist take on high-contrast display typography: strong verticals for authority, hairline cross-strokes for finesse, and carefully controlled curves for a clean editorial finish.
The design’s emphasis on vertical stress and needle-like horizontals creates a distinctly shimmering texture at larger sizes. Round forms (like O/Q and bowls in lowercase) show smooth, controlled curvature, while several letters use sharp apexes and tapered ends that heighten the sense of precision.
