A crisp, display-oriented contrasted face built from razor-thin hairlines paired with strong vertical stems. Curves are taut and clean, with narrow apertures and a generally vertical stress that gives rounds (C, O, e) a polished, elliptical feel. Terminals are mostly blunt or subtly tapered rather than bracketed, keeping the silhouette sleek and modern; counters remain open enough for clarity despite the extreme thins. Proportions lean tall with long ascenders and a restrained, even rhythm in text, while capitals read statuesque and high-impact.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial layouts, and brand identities where contrast and sophistication are desired. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when set with generous size and spacing, and it shines on premium packaging and poster typography where its hairlines can remain crisp.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, evoking fashion mastheads and high-end packaging. Its sharp contrast and controlled geometry feel poised and formal, with a slight contemporary edge rather than overt calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary take on a high-contrast display style—prioritizing elegance, vertical emphasis, and striking thick–thin drama for attention-grabbing typography in branded and editorial contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines deliver a striking sparkle and refined detail; in continuous reading, the thin horizontals and delicate joins can visually recede, making size and background contrast important. Numerals share the same high-fashion contrast, with elegant curves and slender connecting strokes that reinforce the display character.
