A high-contrast display sans with razor-thin hairlines and boldly weighted stems, producing a distinctly cut-and-carved look. Many curves appear formed by thick vertical strokes with tapering, blade-like terminals, giving counters a sculpted, elliptical feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with simplified, upright construction and compact joins, while round letters (o, e, c) emphasize a strong vertical stress. Diacritics and dots are minimal and round, and the numerals follow the same thick–thin logic with clean, graphic silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and logotypes where high contrast and crisp detailing can carry the composition. It works particularly well for fashion, beauty, arts, and premium brand systems, as well as poster typography that benefits from strong black shapes and elegant hairlines.
The overall tone is glossy and editorial, balancing modern restraint with dramatic contrast. It reads as confident and curated—more runway and magazine than utilitarian UI—bringing a sense of sophistication and deliberate styling to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion display voice using extreme contrast and simplified sans structures. Its sculpted curves and sharp terminals aim to create a distinctive signature in short text, prioritizing impact and refinement over neutral, small-size reading.
Several glyphs introduce intentional asymmetry and cut-in details (notably in C/G/S and some diagonals), which adds personality while keeping the palette largely geometric. The design’s thin strokes and sharp transitions make it feel most at home at larger sizes where the hairlines can stay clear.
