A refined display sans with razor-thin hairlines paired against abrupt, heavy vertical fills in select strokes, creating a striking thick–thin rhythm. Many forms lean on near-circular bowls and clean, geometric arcs, while terminals tend to be crisp and unbracketed. Proportions feel tall and elegant with generous counters, and several letters use split or half-shaded constructions (notably in rounded capitals and some numerals) that emphasize verticality and contrast. The lowercase keeps a straightforward skeleton with slim joins and minimal modulation, maintaining a consistent, airy texture even as widths vary across glyphs.
Best suited for headlines, covers, and short lines of display text where its extreme contrast and graphic split-fill details can be appreciated. It fits fashion/editorial layouts, boutique branding, posters, and titling systems that benefit from a sleek, high-impact voice rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is glamorous and theatrical, with a couture-like polish and a hint of Art Deco graphic styling. It reads as sophisticated and modern, prioritizing visual drama and elegance over neutrality, and feels especially suited to high-end or cultural contexts.
Likely designed as a contemporary display face that fuses geometric sans construction with couture-level contrast and a decorative, split-shaded gesture. The intention appears to be creating a memorable, logo-friendly personality with strong vertical emphasis and refined, minimal terminals.
The typeface relies on extremely fine strokes in many characters, so spacing and weight distribution read best at larger sizes where the hairlines can hold. The distinctive split-fill motif adds a poster-like graphic character, particularly in rounded letters and figures, which can become a key branding signature when used consistently.
