A high-contrast sans with a geometric backbone and sharply reduced hairlines contrasted against occasional heavy verticals. Many letters are built from clean circular and rectangular forms, with crisp terminals and a generally upright stance. Counters tend to be open and round, while several glyphs use bold, block-like strokes that create a patterned light–dark rhythm across words. Proportions feel compact and controlled in the capitals, paired with a tall, airy lowercase that maintains clarity despite the extreme contrast.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where the high-contrast patterning can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for magazine covers and short editorial pull quotes, especially when generous spacing and clean layouts help preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, with a distinctly Deco-leaning glamour. Its stark black–white alternation reads as fashion-forward and display-driven, giving text a curated, poster-like presence rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
The font appears intended to deliver an elegant, modernist display voice using extreme contrast and geometric construction to create memorable word shapes. Its alternating heavy and hairline strokes suggest a focus on visual rhythm and graphic impact over unobtrusive continuous reading.
The design’s visual identity comes from deliberate imbalance: some strokes disappear into hairlines while others become solid slabs, producing a kinetic, modular texture. Numerals and round letters emphasize near-perfect circles, reinforcing the geometric feel and the striking contrast pattern.
