A stylized display face built from bold, blocky verticals paired with extremely fine hairline horizontals and curves. Many forms use split construction—one side rendered as a solid slab-like mass while the opposite side resolves into a delicate outline—creating a strong light/dark rhythm across words. Counters tend to be large and clean, with geometric ovals and straight-sided stems; terminals are sharp and often end in razor-thin strokes. The numerals and capitals show a consistent emphasis on vertical structure, while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with tall, simplified ascenders for a crisp, poster-like texture.
Best suited to large-format typography where the hairlines and outline portions can hold detail—editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging. It also works well for short display lines, logotypes, and pull quotes where its high-contrast rhythm can be the focal point.
The overall tone is chic and dramatic, evoking high-fashion typography and early modernist display lettering. The stark contrast and asymmetrical black/white interplay gives it an experimental, art-directed feel that reads as premium and attention-seeking.
This design appears intended as an art-directed, high-contrast display sans that blends geometric construction with extreme stroke contrast and a signature half-solid/half-outline treatment. The goal is to create striking light–dark patterning and a refined, boutique feel rather than neutral text economy.
Because many strokes collapse to hairlines, the design relies on sufficient size and contrast to remain clear; at small sizes the thinnest connections and outline portions can visually fade. The distinctive split-fill motif is a primary identifying feature and becomes more pronounced in all-caps settings and short headlines.
