A slender, high-contrast sans with tall proportions and generous internal space. Strokes alternate between firm verticals and very fine hairlines, producing a crisp, polished rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round letters staying open and light, while joins and terminals remain clean and minimally finished. Overall spacing reads even and composed, supporting continuous text while retaining a distinct, fashion-forward contrast.
Best suited to magazine layouts, culture and fashion headlines, and brand systems that benefit from a sophisticated, high-contrast voice. It can work in short-to-medium text settings where size and printing/rendering conditions preserve the fine strokes, and it excels in display lines, pull quotes, and refined logotypes.
The typeface feels elegant and editorial, pairing restraint with a touch of drama from its hairline strokes. Its tone is contemporary and refined, suggesting luxury, culture, and careful art direction rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, upscale sans voice by combining narrow proportions with pronounced stroke contrast, creating a distinctive silhouette that remains legible while adding editorial character.
Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with especially delicate figures like 1–3 and a more assertive 4–7, creating a lively but consistent numeric color. The overall texture in paragraphs is bright and airy, with sharp vertical emphasis and clear letter separation.
