A high-contrast, upright sans with a distinctly modular, cut-and-assembled construction. Strokes alternate between bold verticals and hairline horizontals, with frequent breaks that create stencil-like counters and notched joins. Curves are smooth and generous but often terminate in sharp, straight cutoffs, producing a sculpted, poster-ready rhythm. Proportions feel narrow-to-medium with tall caps, a normal x-height, and a mix of wide rounds and condensed vertical forms that adds a variable visual cadence across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short editorial statements where its high contrast and modular cuts can be appreciated. It can also work for branding wordmarks and campaign graphics that want a fashion or gallery sensibility. For longer passages, it performs best with generous size and leading to preserve clarity around the hairline elements and intentional breaks.
The tone is sleek and editorial, balancing luxury polish with an experimental, almost architectural sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and intentional interruptions read as fashion-forward and contemporary, while the controlled geometry keeps it feeling refined rather than playful.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean sans framework through high-contrast, stencil-like segmentation, creating a premium display voice with a strong graphic signature. It aims for visual drama and a distinctive texture in setting, prioritizing style and rhythm over neutrality.
Several letters lean on distinctive internal cut lines and asymmetric shaping, giving the texture of inlaid rules across bowls and shoulders. In text, the strong vertical emphasis and recurring hairline crossbars create a striped pattern that is striking at display sizes but can feel busy as lines tighten or sizes shrink.
