A high-contrast display sans with a modular, geometric construction and frequent split forms that juxtapose heavy vertical blocks against extremely thin hairlines. Curves are drawn as near-perfect circles and semicircles, while many strokes resolve into razor-like points or clipped, flat terminals. Counters tend to be open or partially cut away, producing a distinctive light–dark rhythm and a slightly variable, collage-like texture from letter to letter. Proportions are tall and crisp with prominent verticals, and the overall spacing reads airy because many glyphs rely on hairline connectors rather than full strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and cutouts can remain crisp: headlines, mastheads, posters, brand marks, product packaging, and short pull quotes. It can add a distinctive, high-end edge to titles and identity work, especially in clean layouts with ample whitespace.
The tone is sleek and theatrical, mixing modern minimalism with a strong art-deco and fashion-editorial attitude. The stark contrast and sliced geometry feel upscale and curated, suggesting boutique branding, gallery graphics, and statement typography meant to be noticed rather than to disappear into body text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through extreme contrast and selective reduction, using split bowls and hairline joins to create a signature, editorial display voice. The system prioritizes visual impact and stylized silhouettes over neutral text rendering.
Several characters use intentional discontinuities (e.g., bisected bowls and clipped diagonals), creating recognizable silhouettes even at a glance. Numerals echo the same split, circular logic—especially the 0, 6, 8, and 9—reinforcing a consistent visual system across letters and figures.
