A high-contrast, upright display face built from bold vertical stems paired with extremely fine hairlines. Curves are smooth and taut, with tapered joins and razor-thin connecting strokes that create a distinctly sculpted, fashion-forward rhythm. Round letters show asymmetrical thick–thin distribution and crisp terminals, while diagonals and cross-strokes often reduce to near-hairline slashes, emphasizing a delicate, cut-paper effect. Spacing reads open at display sizes, and the overall color alternates between dense black strokes and airy white counters for a striking, graphic texture.
Best suited to large headlines, magazine and lookbook typography, brand marks, and poster titling where its hairline details can hold. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with ample size and breathing room; extended text would likely require careful size, spacing, and contrast management to preserve the fine strokes.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with an elegant tension between strength and fragility. Its sharp hairlines and sculptural thick strokes evoke runway/editorial typography—confident, stylish, and intentionally attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as an editorial display typeface that maximizes contrast and sharp, stylized construction to deliver a premium, art-directed voice. Its letterforms prioritize visual impact and elegance, using hairline cuts and tapered transitions to create a distinctive silhouette in titles and branding.
Several glyphs feature distinctive hairline accents and slanted cuts that act like built-in flourishes, giving the alphabet a curated, art-directed feel. The numerals and caps appear particularly suited to large-scale setting where the hairlines remain visible and the contrast can read as a design feature.
