This typeface uses extremely high stroke contrast, pairing bold vertical stems with needle-thin hairlines and joins. Forms are crisp and clean with a largely geometric, unbracketed construction; terminals tend to finish in sharp points or thin horizontal strokes rather than rounded endings. Counters are spacious and the rhythm is driven by strong verticals, while diagonals (notably in V, W, X, and y) taper to fine lines, creating a lively, flickering texture in text. The lowercase shows a compact, contemporary build with single-story a and g, a narrow, pointed t with a light cross-stroke, and a prominent, round i/j dot that reads as a deliberate graphic detail.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where the contrast can be appreciated—such as magazine covers, luxury branding, beauty/fashion campaigns, and premium packaging. It can work for pull quotes or subheads when given ample size and breathing room, and generally benefits from careful spacing to keep the hairlines clear.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that feels fashion-forward and editorial. It conveys precision and sophistication, leaning toward a modern, curated aesthetic rather than warm or casual voice.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary contrasted display voice: clean and serifless in construction, but with a couture-like interplay of thick and hairline strokes to deliver impact and elegance. It aims to stand out in editorial and brand contexts through sharp geometry and dramatic modulation.
At display sizes the hairlines and pointed joins become a signature feature, giving words a sparkling, razor-edged finish. In denser text, the strong contrast and delicate connections create a distinctive texture that favors generous spacing and controlled layout.
