A high-contrast display sans with extremely thin hairlines paired with selectively thickened strokes, creating a sharp, polished rhythm. Forms are spacious and horizontally expansive, with generous counters and a generally monolinear skeleton that’s accented by subtle flares and swelling terminals. Curves are drawn with smooth, elliptical tension; diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) taper to fine points, and several joins resolve into crisp, blade-like intersections. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow, minimal i/j treatment, and a long-descending y with a curved, tapering tail; figures mix geometric bases with delicate, calligraphic sweeps (especially 2, 3, 5, and 9).
Best suited to large-size applications where the hairlines can stay crisp: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and custom logotype work. It can also serve for short editorial decks or pull quotes where its wide proportions and high contrast can set a sophisticated tone without needing dense text economy.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing modern cleanliness with a hint of calligraphic glamour. Its dramatic contrast and wide stance read as fashion-forward and theatrical rather than utilitarian, giving text a poised, curated feel.
The font appears designed to deliver a couture, high-impact display voice: a clean sans foundation pushed into dramatic contrast and width, with controlled flares to add personality. The goal seems to be an elegant, contemporary look that feels premium and visually distinctive in headlines and branding.
Spacing appears intentionally open, which enhances the airy presence but also makes the thinnest strokes feel particularly delicate at smaller sizes. The design leans on consistent elliptical geometry, with occasional stroke swelling used to emphasize verticals and key structural moments, producing a refined, poster-like cadence.
