A stylized, geometric sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and an emphatic horizontal stress. Round letters are built from broad oval bowls that taper to sharp, wedge-like terminals, producing a chiseled, cut-in feel rather than conventional serifs. Vertical stems are sturdy and dark, while many horizontals and joins thin to hairlines, creating crisp internal counters and high-impact silhouettes. The overall rhythm is expansive and open, with wide capitals, rounded lowercase forms, and numerals that echo the same flared, elliptical construction.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and culture branding, posters, cover typography, and distinctive logotype work. It can also work for short UI or packaging titles where a bold, modern voice is desired, but it is most compelling at larger sizes.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone—sleek and assertive with a sculpted, almost blade-cut elegance. Its dramatic contrast and flared terminals give it a curated, poster-ready presence that feels contemporary and designed rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to modernize geometric sans proportions with a dramatic, cut-terminal treatment, balancing broad ovals and strong verticals against hairline joins for a high-impact, art-directed look. The consistent flaring and wedge endings suggest a deliberate focus on memorable silhouettes and editorial presence rather than invisibility in long text.
Several characters emphasize sharp diagonals and pointed joins (notably in V/W/X/Y), while curves often finish in tapered wedges, creating a consistent “carved” motif across the set. The punctuation shown in the sample reads cleanly at display sizes, and the large dark strokes produce strong word-shapes with a distinctive sparkle from thin hairlines.
