A high-contrast display face built from crisp vertical stems and hairline connectors, with frequent flared terminals that read as serif-like without forming traditional bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are generally open, and many letters emphasize a straight, architectural spine contrasted by thin, curved joins. The rhythm alternates between bold, columnar strokes (notably in many uppercase and select lowercase) and delicate, thread-thin horizontals and diagonals, creating a striking light–dark pattern across words. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing strong verticals with fine curves and minimalist detailing.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and delicate joins can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty identities, poster titling, and premium packaging. For longer passages, it works more convincingly as short editorial bursts or pull quotes than as continuous body text.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical—luxury-leaning, editorial, and intentionally dramatic. Its sharp contrast and airy hairlines suggest sophistication and a slightly avant-garde sensibility rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The type appears designed to deliver a high-fashion, high-contrast headline voice using simplified, near-sans construction accented with flared terminals and calligraphic hairlines. Its goal seems to be visual impact and refinement through tension between heavy verticals and extremely thin connecting strokes.
The design shows intentional inconsistency of weight distribution within and across glyphs (e.g., some letters become nearly solid on one side while others stay mostly hairline), which amplifies a bespoke, art-directed feel. In text, the extreme contrast creates sparkle and visual tension, especially around tight joins and thin cross-strokes.
