A hairline, high-contrast design built from extremely thin stems paired with fuller curved strokes, producing a crisp, shimmering texture. The outlines are clean and upright with generous horizontal proportions and ample interior space, giving counters a calm, open feel. Terminals are sharply finished and largely unbracketed, with round forms (C, O, Q) reading smooth and continuous while straights remain needle-thin. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow-shouldered r, and a compact, symmetrical feel in n/m; numerals are similarly delicate with elegant curves and light joins.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters where its delicate contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text at larger sizes, especially when paired with a sturdier companion for body copy and UI.
The overall tone is refined and couture-adjacent—cool, polished, and intentionally delicate. Its contrast and thin horizontals create a premium, editorial mood that feels suited to high-end branding and sophisticated typographic statements rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast look with a minimalist, almost hairline construction—prioritizing elegance and visual sophistication for editorial and brand-forward applications.
In paragraph settings the font creates strong light/dark rhythm driven by its contrast, with especially fine crossbars and joins that can visually soften at smaller sizes. Spacing appears measured and relatively open, helping the very thin strokes maintain clarity in display use.
