A high-contrast, serifless display face with sharply tapered terminals and wedge-like cuts that create a distinctly chiseled silhouette. Strokes swing from very thin hairlines to bold verticals, producing a crisp, graphic rhythm with pronounced inner counters and teardrop-like joins in places. The forms show a subtle reverse-italic lean in their construction, with energetic diagonals and angled endings that add motion without becoming cursive. Uppercase letters feel statuesque and compact, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and elegant, narrow apertures; numerals echo the same razor-thin-to-bold contrast and pointed finishing.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-impact packaging where the contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous spacing and size, rather than long passages of small text.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining luxury-like sharpness with a contemporary edge. Its contrast and angled terminals give it a dramatic, fashion-forward presence that reads confident and intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The likely intention is to deliver a modern, contrasted display voice that suggests sophistication while staying clean and serifless. By pairing razor-thin hairlines with bold stems and angled terminals, it aims to create a memorable, high-end look that stands out in titles and brand marks.
The design’s impact comes from the consistent use of knife-edge terminals and strong contrast, which creates sparkle at large sizes but can make fine details feel delicate in dense settings. Round letters are tightly controlled and slightly sculptural, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X and the split construction in M) amplify the brisk, angular character.
