A sharply contrasted display face built from weighty vertical stems and hairline connections, giving many letters a split, cut-paper feel. Curves are large and clean, while joins often taper into fine points; diagonals and terminals frequently end as needle-thin wedges. The overall geometry alternates between solid rectangular masses (notably in stems) and delicate, almost calligraphic filaments, creating a rhythmic pattern of black blocks and white space. Counters tend to be generous, and several forms feature distinctive internal slashes or thin in-strokes that emphasize the high-contrast construction.
Well-suited to large-size typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty headlines, luxury branding, posters, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where the dramatic thick–thin rhythm and distinctive detailing are meant to be noticed.
The tone is glamorous and theatrical, with a couture/editorial attitude driven by extreme contrast and knife-like detailing. It feels refined yet intentionally stylized, projecting luxury and sophistication with a slightly avant-garde edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion display voice by exaggerating thick–thin relationships and turning stems into bold geometric pillars connected by hairline strokes. Its letterforms prioritize striking silhouette and editorial impact over neutral text setting.
The design reads best when the hairlines have room to breathe: fine joins and tapered terminals are visually prominent and can become fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution output. Numerals mirror the same sculptural contrast, with elegant thin strokes and bold main bodies that keep the set cohesive.
