A high-contrast sans with tall proportions and a distinctly geometric skeleton. Thick verticals and strong stems are paired with extremely thin hairlines and tapered joins, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm across words. Bowls are clean and rounded while terminals tend toward crisp, straight cutoffs, giving the letterforms a polished, display-forward finish. The overall spacing and stroke logic feel consistent, with a mix of narrow and wide forms that produces a lively, slightly variable rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its contrast and geometry can read clearly. It can work well for fashion and culture magazines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography, particularly in layouts that allow generous scale and whitespace.
The typeface reads as sleek and refined, with a strong Art Deco and modern editorial flavor. Its dramatic contrast and streamlined geometry suggest luxury, style, and a curated, design-conscious tone rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, stylized sans voice that borrows from Deco-era elegance while remaining minimal and clean. Its stroke contrast and simplified construction prioritize impact and sophistication over neutral, body-text versatility.
In the samples, the hairline horizontals and thin curves become a defining feature, especially in counters and cross-strokes, so the face benefits from ample size and clean reproduction. Rounded shapes (like O and C) contrast strongly with the rigid vertical stems, adding a sculptural, poster-like character.
