This typeface presents as a sharply graphic display sans with extreme contrast and a distinctive “cutout” construction: many glyphs are formed by solid, weighty masses intersected by hairline slits and needle-thin joinery. Curves are largely circular and geometric (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), while diagonals are knife-like and precise (V, W, X, Y). The overall silhouette alternates between bold blocks and delicate internal lines, creating a rhythmic interplay of positive and negative space. Terminals tend to be clean and abrupt, with occasional hairline extensions that read as engineered incisions rather than traditional serifs.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine cover lines, luxury branding, and logotypes where its cutout detailing can read clearly. It also works well for posters and campaign graphics that benefit from high-impact letterforms and a sophisticated, art-directed feel.
The font conveys a high-fashion, editorial tone—confident, glamorous, and deliberately stylized. Its dramatic contrast and cut-in details suggest luxury branding and art-directed typography, with a modern, gallery-like sharpness that feels both refined and slightly experimental.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern display voice that distinguishes itself through extreme contrast and engineered internal cuts. Rather than aiming for plain utility, it prioritizes a striking silhouette, memorable texture, and premium editorial character.
The thin internal slits and hairline connections become a defining texture in words, producing a striped, stencil-like sparkle at large sizes. In longer text samples, the strong black shapes create a pronounced headline presence, while the delicate cuts introduce visual complexity that is likely to be most legible when given ample size and spacing.
