A high-contrast, upright sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-clean curves. The design mixes sculpted, near-monoline hairlines with bold vertical stems, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel contemporary and display-oriented: capitals are tall and steady, while lowercase shows rounded bowls and compact joins with clearly defined entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin diagonal and curved strokes set against heavier verticals for a polished, editorial texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, brand marks, and high-impact advertising where the contrast can shine. It also fits upscale packaging and campaign graphics that benefit from a sleek, modern editorial voice; for long text, it will likely perform best when set generously with comfortable spacing and size.
The overall tone is poised and luxe, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing read as premium and intentional, projecting confidence and modern elegance rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion sans voice by combining minimalist structure with calligraphic contrast. The aim seems to be strong visual drama and premium presence while maintaining clean, contemporary outlines.
The contrast creates strong hierarchy at larger sizes, and the thin strokes become a key part of the personality, giving counters and bowls a bright, airy sparkle. Wide curves (notably in round letters) feel smooth and controlled, while angled forms add a slightly incisive, contemporary bite.
