A high-contrast sans with crisp, sculpted forms and a predominantly geometric skeleton. Strokes shift between thin hairlines and heavy verticals, creating a punchy light–dark rhythm across words. Curves are round and open, while terminals often resolve into sharp, angled cuts (notably in diagonals and joins), giving the letterforms a clean, precise edge. The lowercase features a tall x-height and compact ascenders, with generally open apertures and generous counters that help maintain clarity despite the contrast.
Best suited for headlines, titles, pull quotes, and branding where the pronounced contrast can do visual work at larger sizes. It can also serve short bursts of text in editorial layouts, especially when ample size and spacing allow its sharp terminals and hairlines to stay clear.
The overall tone feels editorial and fashion-forward, pairing a refined, almost display-like sharpness with a disciplined sans structure. Its contrast adds drama and sophistication, while the straightforward geometry keeps it modern and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary sans voice with added visual drama through strong stroke contrast and precise, cut terminal details. It aims to read as modern and clean while still feeling distinctive and premium in display applications.
Several glyphs emphasize stylized cuts and wedge-like joins, which become especially noticeable in tight text settings and give the face a distinctive, slightly art-deco-adjacent crispness without overt ornament. Numerals appear similarly contrast-driven and streamlined, matching the uppercase’s strong vertical emphasis.
