A delicate contrasted sans with hairline horizontals and thicker vertical stems, giving letters a crisp, drawn-with-a-pen feel. Proportions are tall and relatively condensed, with generous counters and open apertures that keep the texture light on the page. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with occasional subtle curvature at joins; rounds (C, O, S) are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) are sharp and slender. Numerals follow the same thin, high-contrast logic, maintaining an overall airy rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other large-size applications where its hairline details can remain visible. It can also work for short pull quotes or elegant titling in layouts with ample white space and strong contrast.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, projecting a quiet luxury suitable for high-end, style-forward communication. Its lightness and contrast lend a poised, contemporary voice that feels more display-oriented than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, editorial sans voice with pronounced stroke contrast and a refined, condensed silhouette. It prioritizes elegance and visual tension between thick and thin strokes for impact in display settings.
In longer lines the strokes can appear whisper-thin, so spacing and background contrast will strongly influence perceived clarity. The design’s narrow stance and pronounced vertical emphasis create a tidy, refined texture, especially in capitals.
