A wide, high-contrast display face built from hefty, rounded masses cut through with razor-thin hairline joins and incisions. Strokes alternate abruptly between near-black slabs and needlelike connectors, producing a sculpted, stencil-like rhythm in many letters. Curves are smooth and inflated, with tight internal counters and sharp, tapered terminals that often end in fine points. The overall texture is bold and graphic at large sizes, with distinct, intentionally irregular join behavior across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, posters, and branding where large sizes can preserve the delicate hairlines and emphasize the dramatic black shapes. It can also work for distinctive logotypes and short pull quotes, but will need generous sizing and careful reproduction to keep the thin cuts from filling in.
The tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, balancing luxury cues with a slightly experimental edge. Its intense contrast and cut-in hairlines create a theatrical, attention-grabbing voice that feels contemporary and curated rather than traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through extreme contrast and wide proportions, using hairline cuts and pointed terminals to create a refined yet striking silhouette. It prioritizes graphic character and editorial presence over neutral text continuity.
Round letters like O/Q/0 read as solid ovals interrupted by slender diagonal cuts, and several diagonals (such as in V/W/X/Y) resolve into hairline intersections that feel blade-like. Numerals mirror the same strategy of heavy bowls and minimal connectors, giving the set a cohesive, poster-ready personality.
