A sharply contrasted display sans built from hairline curves and firm vertical strokes, creating a signature split-stroke look across many forms. Counters tend toward clean geometry—near-circular bowls and open, airy apertures—while terminals are predominantly flat and precise. The rhythm alternates between substantial black stems and extremely fine connecting strokes, producing a crisp, high-end texture in words. Lowercase forms keep a modest x-height with elegant, thin joins and simplified construction; numerals echo the same black-and-hairline dichotomy with round, sculpted figures.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine titles, fashion/editorial headlines, posters, and brand marks where the contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and short display lines, especially in spacious layouts with generous tracking.
The overall tone feels editorial and fashion-forward, with a polished, gallery-like sophistication. The extreme contrast and geometric restraint lend a dramatic, modernist elegance that reads as curated and premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-contrast display voice that balances geometric clarity with a stylized black-stem/hairline construction. It prioritizes visual impact and refinement for contemporary branding and editorial settings.
Letterforms show a recurring motif of heavy verticals paired with hairline arcs, often giving bowls and diagonals a sliced or inlaid appearance. The design stays controlled and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with ample whitespace inside and around glyphs that enhances the refined, airy impression.
