A high-contrast, upright sans with razor-thin hairlines set against dense vertical stems. The design leans on sculpted wedge-like terminals and sharp joints, creating a chiseled, graphic rhythm rather than traditional serifs. Curves are taut and elliptical, with pronounced thick–thin modulation through bowls and S-curves; diagonals and cross-strokes often taper to needle points. Proportions feel display-oriented, with compact counters in heavy areas and wide, airy negative space where hairlines dominate.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion and lifestyle layouts, premium branding, and striking posters. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section openers when printed or rendered at sufficient size for the fine strokes to remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing elegance with bite. Its extreme contrast and sharp tapering read as fashion-forward and editorial, suggesting exclusivity and modern glamour rather than neutrality or utility.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of contrast-heavy display typography while retaining a clean sans foundation. The intent seems to be maximum impact through dramatic thick–thin modulation, sharp tapering, and a controlled, editorial cadence.
Uppercase forms appear especially stately and poster-like, while lowercase introduces more calligraphic tension in joins and terminals, producing a lively texture in text settings. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy vertical presence with delicate connecting strokes for a refined, attention-grabbing figure style.
