This typeface uses strong geometric letterforms with pronounced thick–thin modulation, pairing broad vertical and diagonal stems with very fine connecting strokes. Curves are crisp and sculpted, with wedge-like terminals and pointed joins that create a faceted, cut-paper feel in letters like A, V, W, and y. Round letters such as O, C, and G show clear stress and tight internal counters, while the lowercase mixes sturdy bowls with delicate entry/exit strokes (notably in a, c, e, s). Numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast, with sharp diagonals and thin crossbars that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited for large headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging or lookbooks, but long passages of small text may lose the delicate hairline detail.
The overall tone is assertive and polished, projecting a high-end editorial character with a hint of theatrical drama. Its sharp details and high contrast give it a fashionable, attention-grabbing presence that feels suited to refined, image-forward contexts.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that maximizes contrast and angular detail for visual impact. It balances classic proportions with stylized terminals and stressed curves to create a contemporary editorial look.
Spacing appears intentionally open for a display setting, letting the fine hairlines breathe while keeping a dense, inky rhythm from the heavy strokes. The design’s distinctive wedge terminals and razor-thin connections are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, sculptural voice.
