This typeface uses an extreme contrast system built from weighty vertical stems paired with hairline-thin curves and cross-strokes. Counters are largely geometric and clean, with many bowls constructed from near-circular arcs that taper to needle-like joins, creating a sharpened, poster-ready rhythm. Terminals are predominantly blunt or cleanly cut, while several glyphs introduce delicate, calligraphic-like hairlines that act as structural connectors rather than decorative flourishes. Proportions feel contemporary and slightly modular, with variable visual widths across the set and a strong emphasis on verticality in capitals and ascenders.
This design excels in display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and large-format posters where its contrast and sculpted forms can be appreciated. It is well-suited to short text, titles, and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines remain legible and the light/dark structure becomes a key graphic feature.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, balancing luxury restraint with striking contrast. Its razor-thin hairlines and bold stems create a sense of drama and precision that reads as modern editorial rather than nostalgic. The result feels confident, stylish, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, contrast-driven display sans that captures the elegance of fashion typography while keeping a clean, minimally ornamented construction. Its geometry, sharp hairlines, and sculptural weight distribution suggest it was drawn to create a distinctive editorial voice and a strong visual signature in branding contexts.
Round letters like C, G, O, Q, and e show a distinctive split-weight construction where one side reads as a solid mass and the other resolves into a fine outline, producing a distinctive light/dark interplay. The lowercase includes several hairline joins and lightly angled strokes (notably in r, y, and x) that add kinetic tension without breaking the upright stance. Numerals echo the same sculptural logic, with strong vertical blocks contrasted by fine, curved hairlines in several forms.
