A sleek contrasted sans with razor-thin hairlines and confidently weighted vertical stems. Forms are built from clean, geometric arcs and straight strokes, with smooth, round bowls (notably in O/Q/C) and sharp joins. Terminals are mostly straight and crisp, giving a polished, contemporary finish, while select letters use delicate tapering strokes that read as intentional cut-ins rather than traditional serifs. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and a measured rhythm that stays elegant at text sizes while looking especially striking in display settings.
This font excels in large sizes for headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where its contrast can be fully appreciated. In short editorial passages it produces a refined, airy color, particularly with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is high-end and editorial, combining minimalism with dramatic contrast. It feels poised and deliberate, suited to designs that want sophistication and clarity without overt ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice in a sans framework—pairing modern geometry with hairline detailing to create an upscale display workhorse for branding and editorial typography.
Wide curves paired with fine connectors create a distinctive shimmering texture in paragraphs, especially where thin horizontals and diagonals repeat (E/F/T/V/W). Numerals follow the same display-minded contrast, with an airy 8 and a stylized 2/3 that emphasize elegance over neutrality.
