A high-contrast, upright display face with razor-thin hairlines and bold main strokes that create a crisp, graphic rhythm. Curves are drawn with taut, oval tension (notably in O/C/G), while terminals tend toward sharp, wedge-like or finely tapered endings rather than rounded finishes. The overall geometry feels slightly condensed in places with pronounced thick–thin modulation, and the lowercase shows a controlled, bookish structure with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and narrow joins. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with thin internal connections and prominent vertical stress.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, magazine styling, and brand identities where high contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It can also work for posters and logo wordmarks that benefit from a refined, dramatic presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—stylish and assertive, with a fashion-forward elegance. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing give it a premium, high-impact voice suited to curated, image-led typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion editorial look by pushing contrast and sharpening terminals for maximum visual impact. It prioritizes elegance and a striking thick–thin rhythm to stand out in display settings while retaining a disciplined, structured skeleton.
In text, the extreme hairlines and tight transitions emphasize sparkle and refinement, but also make the design feel most at home at larger sizes where the delicate strokes can breathe. The mix of sturdy stems and needle-like connectors creates a lively, slightly calligraphic texture without becoming overtly ornamental.
