This typeface combines razor-thin hairlines with firm, dark verticals, creating a sharply modulated rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Forms are largely sans in spirit, but many strokes taper to needle points and show subtle, calligraphic swelling, especially in diagonals and curved joins. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tight counters in letters like a, e, and s, and expansive, high-contrast bowls in C, O, Q, and 8. The lowercase uses a two-storey a and a compact, clean e, while several letters feature distinctive flicked terminals (notably g, j, y) that add motion without becoming ornamental.
Best suited to display settings where the extreme modulation and delicate hairlines can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and large-format posters. It can also work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic, runway-like contrast that feels modern and aspirational. Its hairline detailing reads as precise and intentional, lending an airy sophistication and a slightly theatrical edge. The distinctive tapering terminals add a couture sensibility suited to premium, design-forward contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion display voice by fusing clean, sans-like skeletons with refined, calligraphic tapering and pronounced stroke modulation. Its character emphasizes elegance and impact over neutrality, aiming to stand out in premium editorial and brand environments.
At small sizes the ultra-fine strokes and pointed terminals may visually recede, while at larger sizes the sharp modulation and sculpted curves become a defining feature. Numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and elegance, with especially striking 2, 3, and 9 shaped by long, thin entry/exit strokes.
