A highly contrasted display sans with crisp, sharpened joins and frequent tapered terminals. Vertical stems read dominant and dark, while connecting strokes and diagonals become hairline-thin, creating a stark light–dark rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous internal counters in letters like O, P, and R, and a generally wide stance that gives lines an open, airy texture despite the heavy verticals. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and clean, upright construction; figures are similarly bold in their vertical stress with delicate linking strokes.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and branding moments where strong contrast and a refined silhouette are an asset—such as magazine layouts, fashion and beauty identities, cultural posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short callouts and pull quotes, especially when set at sizes large enough to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward contemporary luxury and editorial styling. Its sharp contrast and tapered details feel poised and intentional, giving headlines a confident, high-end presence without ornamental flourishes.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast statement in a sans framework—combining the punch of bold vertical strokes with razor-thin connectors for a sleek, editorial voice.
The design relies on a consistent contrast model: thick uprights paired with extremely thin cross-strokes and diagonals, which makes the font particularly sensitive to size and reproduction conditions. The wide proportions and roomy counters help maintain legibility in larger settings while preserving an assertive, graphic silhouette.
