A high-contrast sans with razor-thin hairlines and bold verticals, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. The forms are mostly upright and constructed with clean, straight terminals, giving the alphabet a crisp, contemporary profile. Proportions lean tall and slightly condensed in many capitals, while round letters like O/Q keep a narrow, polished oval. Curves are smooth but tightly controlled, and joins and apexes (notably in V/W/Y) resolve into sharp, elegant angles; numerals follow the same contrast logic with slender diagonals and strong stems.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers and spreads, brand marks, and poster typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes and display subheads, particularly when ample size and spacing are available to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sleek and editorial, projecting a fashion-forward, premium feel. Its dramatic contrast reads poised and confident, with a cool modernity rather than warmth or softness.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion display voice: maximized contrast, disciplined geometry, and a polished silhouette aimed at high-impact editorial and branding applications.
In text, the hairlines become a defining feature, producing a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes and a more delicate color when set smaller. The design’s emphasis on vertical stress and fine cross-strokes makes it especially visually striking in uppercase settings and short phrases.
