A sculptural sans with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Forms lean geometric with broad curves in C/G/O and strong straight stems, while terminals often resolve into pointed or wedge-like cuts that add angular tension. Counters are generally open and round, and the overall spacing and proportions feel display-oriented, with some characters widening noticeably (notably M/W) for a varied silhouette across a line.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titling, posters, and brand marks where the extreme stroke modulation can read as a design feature. It can also work well on packaging and event graphics, especially when set large enough for the fine hairlines and sharp joins to remain clear.
The tone is confident and theatrical, mixing modernist simplicity with a refined, editorial sharpness. The combination of clean geometry and razor-thin connections gives it a fashion-forward, poster-ready energy that feels deliberate and curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, contemporary display sans that stands out through extreme modulation and incisive terminals while keeping overall letter construction clean and largely geometric.
Several letters show distinctive cut-ins and notches (e.g., around joins and bowls), which heighten the graphic personality and make the face feel more like a logo or headline tool than a neutral text workhorse. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with ample curves and a strong, graphic presence.
