A high-contrast display face with sharply tapered joins and crisp terminals that read as cut or chiseled rather than rounded. Stems and bowls alternate between very heavy verticals and hairline horizontals/diagonals, creating a striking light–dark rhythm across words. Proportions are generally broad with generous counters, and the lowercase shows a compact, upright construction with single‑storey forms and small, precise apertures. Overall spacing feels deliberate and stable, while the contrast and thin connections give some letters a refined, tensioned look at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-format typography where the contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can elevate branding, packaging, and campaign posters that want a premium, editorial voice, and it works well for short subheads or pull quotes when set with ample size and breathing room.
The tone is polished and assertive, with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion sensibility. Its strong contrast and razor-thin details create a dramatic, premium feel that suggests sophistication and controlled intensity rather than friendliness or neutrality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary contrasted display sans: a minimal, upright skeleton pushed toward dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, stylized terminals. It prioritizes impact and elegance in large sizes, aiming for a refined, modern editorial texture rather than everyday text utility.
The thinnest strokes and hairline connections are a key part of the identity and will visually diminish at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs. Numerals mirror the same contrast logic, with sculpted curves and narrow hairline joins that enhance the display character.
