A sharply contrasted display face with razor-thin hairlines paired with fuller vertical strokes, producing a crisp, polished texture. The forms are predominantly upright with generous width and ample interior counters, giving words a spacious, airy rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly unbracketed, with occasional delicate, calligraphic-feeling joins in diagonals and arms that heighten the sense of precision. Rounded letters are smooth and near-geometric, while the overall proportioning favors tall caps and a measured, moderate x-height for an elevated, editorial silhouette.
Best suited to large-size settings such as magazine headlines, lookbooks, posters, and luxury brand identities where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and short pull quotes when given enough size and breathing room.
The font reads as modern and upscale, with a pronounced runway/editorial tone. Its dramatic contrast and fine details convey sophistication and intentionality, suggesting premium branding and high-end publishing rather than utilitarian text work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a contrasted, display-oriented sans, prioritizing elegance, spacious proportions, and striking thick–thin drama for premium visual impact.
In continuous text, the strong contrast creates a lively shimmer, and the very thin strokes become key to the personality of the design. The numerals and capitals maintain the same sleek construction, supporting a cohesive, polished system for headlines and short statements.
