A stylized display face built from sharp geometric construction and extreme stroke modulation. Thick verticals sit beside hairline connectors, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm with plenty of white space inside counters. Curves are clean and circular, while joins often resolve into tapered, needle-like terminals rather than conventional serifs. Several forms introduce decorative cut-ins and internal diamond/lozenge counters (notably in rounded letters and numerals), giving the set a deliberately designed, non-textbook feel and a slightly variable visual width across glyphs.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, boutique packaging, and striking poster typography. It can work for short pull quotes or titling where the hairline features can remain intact, but it is less appropriate for dense body text or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is sleek and dramatic—more couture editorial than utilitarian signage. Its mix of razor-thin lines and bold strokes feels glamorous, slightly mysterious, and intentionally eccentric, evoking Art Deco elegance filtered through contemporary minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, luxury-leaning voice by combining modern sans-like construction with ornamental interior detailing and extreme contrast. It prioritizes character and silhouette over neutrality, offering a memorable look for identity and editorial applications.
The uppercase presents a stronger, poster-like presence with simplified geometry, while the lowercase adds more idiosyncratic moments and airy joins. Numerals mirror the same contrast and ornamental internal shapes, keeping a consistent motif across the set. The light hairlines suggest the design will read best when given room and sufficient size to preserve its delicate details.
