A high-contrast sans with razor-thin hairlines paired with abrupt, inky verticals and wedges. Curves are largely circular and clean, while many joins terminate in sharp, tapered points that read like cut or chiseled ends rather than soft transitions. Counters are open and airy, spacing is generous, and the overall rhythm alternates between delicate strokes and bold accents, giving the alphabet a sculpted, display-forward texture. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing slender arcs with heavy slices for a stylized, graphic silhouette.
Best suited for display settings where the contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated: headlines, magazine and lookbook titling, poster work, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI hero text when used at sufficiently large sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The font feels polished and fashion-oriented, balancing minimal geometry with theatrical contrast. Its sharp terminals and black accents add a sense of drama and luxury, while the airy hairlines keep it modern and refined.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through extreme contrast and stylized cut terminals, aiming for a luxurious, editorial voice rather than a purely utilitarian tone.
Several glyphs lean on asymmetric stroke emphasis (notably in round letters), creating a distinctive sparkle in text but also a more decorative, less neutral color at smaller sizes. The pointed joins in letters like A, V, W, and the angled cuts in curves contribute to a precise, almost blade-like finish.
