A clean, geometric sans with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctive split between sturdy curves and very thin verticals. Bowls and rounds are broadly circular and smooth, while many stems resolve into hairline-like lines that create an airy, two-weight rhythm within single letters. Terminals are predominantly flat and sharply cut, with occasional angled joins that add a crisp, constructed feel. Proportions are fairly even and compact, with open counters and clear shapes; the design’s contrast is especially evident in letters like B, D, P, and in the lowercase where thin ascenders/descenders sit against heavier bowls.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short editorial or promotional copy where its high-contrast structure can be appreciated. It can work well for branding systems and packaging that aim for a sleek, premium, or retro-modern aesthetic, and for large-format typography where the hairlines won’t disappear.
The overall tone feels modern and design-forward, with a subtle Art Deco flavor created by the elegant hairline strokes and polished geometry. It reads as refined and slightly theatrical—more display-minded than purely utilitarian—while still maintaining a clean, contemporary voice.
The design appears intended to fuse geometric sans clarity with a dramatic, high-contrast gesture, creating a distinctive display face that feels both contemporary and lightly Deco-inspired. Its construction emphasizes rhythm and elegance through alternating heavy bowls and fine stems.
The interplay of thick curves and extremely thin verticals produces a striking texture that can look delicate at small sizes, especially in letters with long hairline stems (for example i, l, t, and u). Numerals and capitals maintain the same geometric logic, giving headings and short phrases a cohesive, high-style sheen.
