A high-contrast sans with hairline joins and distinctly heavier verticals, giving letters a sharp, editorial rhythm. Curves are clean and near-circular, with smooth, taut bowls and tapered transitions that feel almost calligraphic without adding explicit ornament. Uppercase proportions are tall and open, while lowercase forms stay straightforward and readable, with compact terminals and occasional soft curves (notably in the ear and tails). Numerals follow the same contrast logic, pairing sturdy stems with delicate horizontals for a poised, lightweight color on the page.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine titling, brand wordmarks, and upscale packaging where its contrast and airy hairlines can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when sized generously and given comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and contemporary, with a fashion-forward restraint. Its thin strokes and crisp construction project sophistication and calm, making it feel premium rather than utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a sleek, modern voice with a luxury-leaning finish, combining geometric clarity with high-contrast stroke modulation for impactful, contemporary typography.
Diagonal strokes (as in V, W, X, and k) are markedly finer than verticals, heightening the sense of precision and delicacy. The spacing reads moderately open in text, helping the fine features stay distinct and preventing the high contrast from feeling brittle at larger sizes.
