A sharply contrasted, upright display face with a clean, largely serifless skeleton and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are bold and straight while curves and joins taper into very fine hairlines, creating a sculpted, almost cut-paper look. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a compact x-height with crisp terminals and occasional hooked or teardrop-like ends. The rhythm is brisk and graphic, with tight counters in letters like a, e, and s and strong vertical emphasis across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where the contrast and vertical punch can read cleanly. It works well for magazine covers, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and distinctive logotypes, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The font reads as polished and contemporary with a dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its extreme contrast and crisp geometry lend an upscale editorial tone, balancing elegance with a slightly experimental, poster-forward attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast statement without relying on traditional serifs, pairing bold structural strokes with razor-thin hairlines to create an editorial, attention-grabbing voice.
Numerals mirror the letterforms’ contrast, with thin connecting strokes and bold verticals that make figures like 2, 3, and 8 feel particularly stylized. The overall texture alternates between dense black strokes and airy white space, which heightens impact at larger sizes but can look delicate in the thinnest details.
