A high-contrast display face with broad proportions and a crisp, graphic rhythm. Strokes move between hairline thins and dense verticals, with subtle flared terminals that read as serifless but sculpted. Curves are smooth and controlled, bowls are generous and open, and the overall spacing feels airy in capitals while remaining compact and sturdy in lowercase. Numerals follow the same sharp thick–thin logic, giving figures a polished, poster-ready presence.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, brand marks, and campaign poster work where contrast and width can create impact. It can also add a premium feel to packaging and short pull quotes, especially with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is elegant and assertive, balancing modern cleanliness with a hint of classical drama from the pronounced contrast. It feels premium and editorial, with a fashion-forward confidence that stays orderly rather than ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-end display voice: wide, clean shapes for strong presence, paired with dramatic contrast to signal sophistication and editorial polish.
The forms lean on strong vertical emphasis and clean joins, producing a clear silhouette at large sizes. Wide letterforms and open counters help maintain clarity even with the extreme contrast, while the flared ends add character without turning into overt serifs.
