A high-contrast sans with crisp, geometric construction and frequent flared stroke endings. Curves are drawn with thin hairline-like sections that expand into heavier verticals and wedges, giving many letters a split black/white appearance. Counters tend toward round and open, with a clean, upright stance and a slightly condensed rhythm in some forms, while others read broader, creating an intentionally uneven, display-oriented texture. Terminals are often blunt or tapered, and punctuation and dots appear round and emphatic against the thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, logos, cover lines, posters, and packaging where the dramatic contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. In short text and pull quotes it adds distinctive personality, but its fine strokes and alternating thick-thin pattern suggest using it with generous sizing and spacing for best clarity.
The overall tone feels Deco-leaning and fashion-forward, mixing elegance with a hint of theatricality. The stark contrast and graphic light/dark interplay evoke poster lettering, magazine mastheads, and vintage-modern branding where style and personality are prioritized over neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a graphic, modern-Deco flavor through extreme contrast and flared terminals, creating memorable silhouettes that stand out in branding and editorial contexts. The intentional mix of narrow and wide gestures across glyphs suggests a focus on visual sparkle and character rather than strict uniformity.
The font relies on contrast-driven silhouettes rather than uniform stroke logic, so word shapes become lively and attention-grabbing. Numerals and capitals especially emphasize bold verticals paired with delicate arcs, producing a striking, high-impact rhythm in headlines.
