This typeface uses pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and diagonals paired with sturdier vertical stems. Letterforms are clean and streamlined, with minimal terminal treatment and little to no visible bracketing, giving the design a crisp, graphic rhythm. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a restrained, editorial structure with a modest bowl size and comparatively small x-height. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast logic, producing an overall light-on-its-feet texture that reads best when set with comfortable spacing and at sizes where hairlines remain visible.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and clean structure can be appreciated. It works well for fashion, beauty, and luxury branding systems, as well as poster titles and striking cover typography. For extended text, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve the thin strokes and maintain clarity.
The overall tone is sophisticated and contemporary, leaning toward a fashion and magazine sensibility. Strong contrast and sharp joins create a polished, high-end feel that suggests confidence and precision rather than warmth or casualness.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast display voice that feels refined and premium, pairing minimal detailing with dramatic modulation for impactful typographic hierarchy.
The design’s hairlines are a defining feature, especially in E/F/T crossbars and in diagonals, which can appear delicate in dense settings. Round letters maintain a smooth, controlled curve, while angled forms (V/W/X/Y) emphasize the crisp, cut-like quality of the strokes.
