A high-contrast, upright sans with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, clean terminals. The geometry is largely constructed and streamlined, with broad vertical stems paired with hairline joins and diagonals that create a sharp, chiseled rhythm. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smooth and taut, while several glyphs show purposeful asymmetries and tapered strokes that read almost calligraphic despite the sans construction. Spacing feels open and editorial, and the family exhibits noticeable per-glyph width variation, giving text a lively, uneven cadence rather than a rigidly uniform texture.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and dramatic modulation can remain clear: magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, brand marks, premium packaging, and large-format posters. In longer text, it works most effectively for short pulls, decks, or highlighted passages where a refined, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and high-fashion, combining restraint with theatrical contrast. It conveys luxury and modern sophistication, with a slightly avant-garde edge that feels at home in contemporary editorial design.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a modern sans structure through a couture-like, high-contrast lens—prioritizing striking silhouette, sharp rhythm, and visual elegance over neutral text utility.
Uppercase forms project strong verticality and a distinctive thick–thin pattern, while lowercase introduces more playful, delicate details (notably in j, r, s, and x) that add sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with hairline curves and angled cuts for a sleek, stylized set.
