A striking, high-contrast display sans with razor-thin hairlines paired against bold vertical stems and heavy curves. The forms feel wide and airy, with generous counters and a crisp, upright stance. Many letters show split-weight construction—dark masses on one side with a near-filament contour on the other—creating a carved, two-tone effect and a strong directional rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals are clean and unbracketed, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read sharply with thin interior lines that emphasize structure. Numerals echo the same contrast logic, mixing solid slabs with delicate, drawn hairlines for a refined, graphic look.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine and lookbook typography, brand marks, campaign posters, and premium packaging where its hairlines and sculptural contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or high-impact titling when set with ample spacing and strong print or high-resolution digital output.
The overall tone is glamorous and theatrical, evoking fashion mastheads, art-direction-led editorial typography, and luxury packaging. Its extreme contrast and airy hairlines give it an elegant, high-end presence, while the asymmetric weight distribution adds a contemporary, design-forward edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a couture-like, editorial voice through extreme contrast and a sculpted, asymmetric stroke strategy, prioritizing visual drama and brand character over neutral text utility.
The design relies heavily on very fine strokes for definition, which creates a luminous, engraved feel at larger sizes but suggests careful size and background choices to preserve the hairline details. The uppercase is especially commanding and logo-like, while the lowercase maintains the same stylized contrast, producing a distinctive texture in paragraphs.
