A sleek display sans built from razor-thin hairlines paired with abrupt, inky verticals. The geometry favors clean circular bowls and long, straight stems, with contrast arriving as sharp switches between delicate connectors and heavy uprights rather than gradual modulation. Counters are generous and open, terminals are mostly clean and unbracketed, and the overall rhythm feels precise and architectural. Proportions lean tall with a relatively small x-height, giving lowercase a more elegant, high-end posture and making ascenders feel prominent.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-size editorial typography where the hairlines and bold uprights can reproduce cleanly. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion campaigns, and poster work that benefits from a dramatic, high-contrast voice.
The typeface projects a couture, gallery-like sophistication—cool, minimalist, and intentionally dramatic. Its high-contrast structure reads as luxurious and attention-seeking, with a controlled, modern tone that feels more like editorial styling than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended as a contemporary high-contrast sans for display settings, combining minimal geometry with pronounced thick–thin tension to create an upscale, stylized texture in titles and short phrases.
Several forms emphasize verticality and negative space, creating a striped texture in words when set in mixed case. The numerals and round letters keep a smooth, near-perfect circularity, while diagonals and joins remain extremely fine, increasing the sense of delicacy at smaller sizes.
