A delicate sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation: hairline stems and joins contrast with heavier horizontal and curved segments, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Forms lean geometric with near-circular bowls (O, Q, o, e) and clean, open apertures, while terminals are mostly square-cut and unbracketed. The uppercase set feels tall and poised with generous interior counters; the lowercase keeps a tidy, contemporary construction with a single-storey a and a compact, rounded e. Numerals follow the same logic, with minimal detailing and strong black/white interplay.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, lookbooks, posters, and brand wordmarks where its contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and comfortable leading, and it pairs well with quieter text faces for supporting copy.
The overall tone is polished and premium, balancing modern restraint with a glamorous, editorial edge. Its sharp contrast and fine hairlines give it an airy sophistication that reads as boutique, runway, and design-forward rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display sans with couture-like contrast—combining geometric clarity with dramatic stroke modulation for refined, attention-getting typography.
At larger sizes the thin strokes create a striking, sparkling texture, while in denser lines they can visually recede and make spacing and alignment feel especially important. The design’s consistency across curves and straight segments produces a measured, gallery-clean cadence in text settings.
