A high-contrast, upright display sans with razor-thin hairlines and dense vertical stems. The forms are generally straight-sided and compact, with squared terminals and minimal rounding, creating a crisp, engineered texture. Counters tend to be narrow and tall, and several glyphs use hairline diagonals or joins (notably in K, X, and the tail of Q), heightening the sense of precision. Uppercase shows a strong vertical rhythm and weighty presence, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, textlike structure with sturdy stems and small, clean joins.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logotype-style branding where the contrast and sharp structure can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine and fashion layouts, premium packaging, and large-format posters that benefit from a dramatic, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is sleek and assertive, combining a modern editorial sensibility with a refined, high-end edge. The extreme stroke contrast and sharp detailing give it a dramatic, fashion-forward voice that feels confident and polished rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast display look in a largely sans construction, emphasizing vertical strength and hairline elegance for impactful, upscale typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast produces striking word shapes at large sizes, while the thin strokes read as delicate accents. Numerals follow the same heavy-stem/light-hairline logic, with an especially bold, poster-like color that suits headlines more than long passages.
