A high-contrast sans with crisp, razor-thin joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation across stems, bowls, and diagonals. Letterforms are generally upright and cleanly constructed, with smooth, rounded curves counterbalanced by sharp terminals and narrow apertures in places. Proportions vary noticeably between characters, creating a lively rhythm: some glyphs feel compact and vertical while others open wider, especially in rounded forms like O/Q and numerals. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with slender hairlines on curved strokes, and the overall spacing reads open and contemporary rather than condensed or bulky.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine typography, fashion lookbooks, brand wordmarks, and poster titles where the contrast can read clearly. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and breathing room, and pairs well with simpler text faces for body copy.
The tone is polished and stylish, with a sense of luxury coming from the dramatic contrast and delicate hairlines. It feels contemporary and editorial—more runway and magazine than utilitarian UI—while still staying clean and sans-driven rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end sans voice by combining minimal, serifless construction with dramatic modulation and carefully shaped curves. Its variable-feeling proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on expressive typography and strong visual identity rather than purely neutral text rendering.
The design leans on tension between sturdy verticals and extremely fine horizontals/diagonals, giving a sparkling texture in text. Larger sizes show the sculptural detail of curves and terminals best, while small sizes may demand careful setting to preserve the finest strokes.
