A high-contrast display sans with tall, narrow capitals and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between hairline-thin horizontals and heavier verticals, producing sharp, graphic counters and a sculpted silhouette. Many terminals are subtly flared or tapered, and curves are drawn with clean, controlled geometry rather than soft brushiness. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height but remains stylized, with simplified forms and occasional calligraphic thin joins that emphasize the contrast.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, cover lines, poster titles, branding marks, and premium packaging. It can add distinctive personality to pull quotes and section headers, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone reads glamorous and theatrical, with a strong Art Deco and editorial flavor. Its stark light–dark alternation and elongated proportions feel upscale and curated, suggesting fashion, nightlife, and classic poster typography rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast display face that nods to early 20th-century glamour while staying clean and sans in its overall construction. Its exaggerated contrast and tall proportions prioritize visual impact and sophistication over utilitarian text setting.
Wide letters like W and M are built from multiple fine diagonals that appear lighter than neighboring verticals, reinforcing the font’s shimmering, cut-paper contrast. Figures follow the same display logic, mixing sturdy stems with delicate crossbars for a cohesive numeric texture.
