A high-contrast display face built from crisp, mostly straight-sided forms with abrupt transitions into thin hairlines. Counters are generous and geometric-leaning, while terminals are clean and unbracketed, creating a sharply cut, poster-ready texture. The rhythm is strongly vertical with compact joins and a slightly condensed feel in some letters, yet with uneven character widths that add an assertive, irregular pacing across words. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with prominent ball-like dots and compact bowls that hold up at large sizes.
Best suited to large-size applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and bold campaign typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where its high contrast and dense texture are an advantage rather than a readability constraint.
The font reads as dramatic and polished, with a couture/editorial tone that feels contemporary rather than nostalgic. Its sharp contrast and taut silhouettes project confidence and sophistication, giving headlines a sculptural, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial display look by combining heavy vertical structure with razor-thin accents and clean terminals, maximizing contrast and presence while keeping the overall shapes restrained and contemporary.
In text settings the heavy stems and tight interior details create a dense, high-impact color, especially around rounded letters and diagonals. The most delicate hairlines (notably in diagonals and some internal strokes) suggest it is intended for display use where those thin features can remain visible.
