A high-contrast display sans with razor-thin hairlines paired against dense vertical stems and wedge-like joins. Many glyphs use carved interior cutouts and split forms that create a stencil-like rhythm, especially in rounded letters where the bowl is partially separated from the main stroke. Curves are clean and largely geometric, with generous counters and sharp terminals that emphasize verticality. Proportions vary noticeably between characters, adding a lively, fashion-forward cadence in text while keeping an overall disciplined, upright structure.
Best suited to large-size applications such as magazine headlines, poster titles, fashion or beauty branding, and premium packaging where contrast and negative-space cutouts can print cleanly. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but is likely to feel too stylized for long-form reading at small sizes.
The typeface conveys a refined, theatrical mood that reads as modernist with strong Art Deco overtones. Its extreme contrast and graphic cutouts feel luxurious and attention-seeking, suggesting boutique branding, nightlife, and high-end editorial styling rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through dramatic contrast and selective stencil cuts, prioritizing distinctive texture and upscale personality. It aims to deliver strong visual signature in display settings while maintaining an orderly, upright skeleton.
In continuous text the repeated vertical black pillars and hairline connectors produce a striking zebra pattern; this gives strong headline impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals show the same cut-and-fill logic, keeping the set visually consistent for titling and short statements.
