A geometric, display-oriented sans built from crisp vertical stems and hairline connectors, producing an extreme thick–thin rhythm. Many bowls and counters are constructed as split forms—solid black segments paired with near-monoline arcs—creating a modular, almost cutout feel. Circles trend toward perfect geometry (notably in O/C/G-like forms), while diagonals in V/W/X/Y/Z are sharp and clean, often resolving into thin, tapered joins. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact apertures and a mix of rounded and straight-sided construction, keeping a consistent, graphic cadence across words.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its high-contrast structure can be appreciated—magazine covers, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and premium packaging. It also works well for distinctive wordmarks and titling, while long body copy or small UI sizes may lose detail due to the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sleek and theatrical, balancing elegance with a striking, poster-like boldness. The alternating mass and hairline structure reads as glamorous and stylized, evoking luxury branding and era-inspired display typography rather than everyday neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a memorable, high-impact silhouette through modular geometry and dramatic contrast, prioritizing style and brand character over conventional text economy. The split-bowl construction suggests an intent to create a signature look that feels both modern and Deco-influenced.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and internal cut lines that become prominent stylistic features, especially in curved letters and numerals. Spacing appears intentionally open in places to preserve the black/white interplay, and the strongest impact comes from larger sizes where the thin strokes can remain crisp.
