A striking, hairline-driven sans with extreme thick–thin interplay: many glyphs pair a solid vertical stem with near-monoline circular or linear elements. Curves are clean and geometric, with round counters and open bowls that often read as delicate outlines against bold stems. Terminals are crisp and mostly flat, with occasional tapered joins and needle-like diagonals in letters such as K, V, W, and X. Proportions are predominantly tall and compact, producing a tight rhythm, while round letters like O and Q stay airy and perfectly geometric, emphasizing the contrast between mass and line.
Best suited to display work where its fine details can breathe: magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, posters, branding, and logotypes. It also works for short pull quotes or titling systems that want a refined, high-contrast voice, especially when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone is high-fashion and editorial, blending minimalist geometry with theatrical contrast. It feels poised and luxurious, with a gallery-like coolness that leans modernist and slightly Art Deco in spirit. The thin strokes add fragility and sophistication, while the heavy stems inject confidence and drama.
The design intention appears to be a modern display sans that reinterprets geometric construction through intentional stroke reduction—keeping bold vertical structure while rendering curves and cross-elements as hairlines. The result prioritizes visual intrigue and high-end styling over conventional text uniformity, aiming for memorable typographic silhouettes in large-format use.
In text settings, the design creates a distinctive vertical cadence as thick stems align and thin curves recede, giving words a barcode-like texture. The circular forms and hairline crossbars can appear very delicate at smaller sizes, while large sizes highlight the intentional interplay between bold structure and fine-line detail. Numerals follow the same concept, mixing compact black strokes with light, round constructions for a cohesive display character.
