A crisp, high-contrast sans with a distinctly geometric skeleton and sharp, clean terminals. Many letters alternate between substantial vertical strokes and extremely thin hairlines, producing a bold light–dark rhythm across words. Rounds are smooth and close to circular, with tight, controlled apertures; counters often feel partially “sliced” by heavy stems, giving several forms a semi-stenciled, poster-like look without actual breaks. Proportions lean wide with generous set width, while curves and diagonals stay taut and precise, maintaining a consistent, contemporary silhouette in both upper- and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography where the contrast can be appreciated: headlines, magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short UI/marketing callouts or section headers when given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic—more runway editorial than utilitarian signage. The extreme contrast and graphic cuts create a sense of luxury and intention, projecting a modern, design-forward confidence that feels curated and stylish rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate modernist geometry into a high-fashion display voice by pushing contrast and simplifying terminals, resulting in letterforms that are simultaneously minimal and highly graphic. The goal seems to be strong visual identity and striking typographic texture in larger, editorial contexts.
The stroke-contrast effect is strong enough that small sizes may lose some hairline detail, while larger settings amplify the font’s graphic personality. Numerals and capitals read particularly sculptural, and the mix of heavy verticals with airy spacing gives lines a distinctive, rhythmic texture.
