A tightly proportioned display face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, uninterrupted vertical stems contrasted by hairline crossbars and joins. Many letters rely on tall, straight strokes with wedge-like terminals and crisp, pointed apexes, while round forms are drawn with narrow bowls and delicate inner curves that emphasize vertical stress. The rhythm is strongly vertical and columnar, with a mix of compact widths and occasional wider forms, producing a lively, typographic texture. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, pairing bold spines with fine, needle-like details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, fashion and cultural branding, and poster typography where large sizes can showcase the contrast and sharp detailing. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but the fine strokes suggest avoiding very small settings or low-contrast printing conditions.
The overall tone is polished and high-drama, mixing elegance with a slightly severe, graphic edge. Its extreme contrast and slim silhouettes evoke contemporary luxury and editorial styling, where tension between bold strokes and hairlines reads as intentional and premium.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary high-contrast look in a compact footprint, prioritizing striking silhouette and editorial sophistication over neutral, utilitarian readability. The consistent emphasis on vertical stems and hairline joins suggests an intention to create elegant drama and a distinctive, modern display voice.
Hairlines become especially prominent in horizontals and diagonals, so spacing and size have a noticeable impact on clarity. The design’s visual weight concentrates in vertical strokes, giving lines of text a striped, poster-like cadence that feels most intentional at larger sizes.
