A high-contrast display face with razor-thin hairlines and dense vertical stems, giving letters a sharp, sculpted rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly oval, with tapered joins and wedge-like terminals that read as serifless but calligraphically finished. Several glyphs introduce delicate, threadlike strokes and swashes (notably in capitals such as A, M, N, Q, X and in lowercase forms like y), creating moments of intentional asymmetry within an otherwise clean, upright structure. The lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey a and g, with compact counters and crisp apertures; numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine cross-strokes.
Best used for headlines, mastheads, and large-scale editorial typography where its contrast and hairline details can remain intact. It also suits luxury branding, cosmetics and fragrance packaging, and high-impact posters where a sleek, curated aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, balancing minimal modernity with a couture-like sense of drama. The extreme contrast and occasional hairline flourishes add sophistication and tension, producing a confident, premium voice suited to statement typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward display voice built on stark contrast and carefully controlled geometry, with selective calligraphic gestures to add signature character. Its forms prioritize visual drama and refinement over small-size robustness, aiming for a premium, editorial presence.
Letter widths vary noticeably from narrow capitals (E, F, H) to broader rounds (O, Q), and spacing feels designed for headline settings where the thick strokes hold the line. In the text sample, the hairlines become very light at smaller sizes, reinforcing its display-first character and emphasizing the refined, etched look.
