This typeface is built from heavy vertical masses and knife-thin connecting strokes, producing a highly sculpted, cut-paper look. Many letters show wedge-like terminals and abrupt transitions, with triangular notches and sharp interior cuts that carve counters into distinct geometric pockets. Curves are taut and controlled, with compact apertures and a rhythmic alternation of solid blocks and fine hairlines across the alphabet. The overall construction feels disciplined and upright, with crisp edges and a slightly condensed, poster-forward presence in the sample text.
Best suited to large-size applications such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and branding where the dramatic contrast and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the intense stylization is more effective in display settings than extended text.
The tone is bold and editorial, balancing elegance with a slightly aggressive, high-impact edge. It reads as fashion-forward and contemporary, with a luxe magazine energy that can feel theatrical and attention-seeking when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion display voice by exaggerating contrast and carving interiors to create striking silhouettes. The goal seems to be memorable headline impact with a refined, modernist finish rather than a neutral, everyday texture.
Several glyphs emphasize verticality and strong stems, while diagonals and joins are treated as sharp, tapered bridges rather than continuous strokes. The figures echo the same carved contrast, with distinctive shapes that prioritize personality over neutrality, especially in the curved numerals.
