A highly contrasted sans with razor-thin hairlines paired with strong vertical stems and a crisp, geometric construction. Curves are drawn with pronounced vertical stress, producing thick left/right weight in rounded letters like C, G, O, and Q, while crossbars and connecting strokes collapse to near-hairline thickness. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional pointed joins in diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and long, straight horizontals (E, F, T) that read as fine rules. Proportions feel slightly condensed and tall in the capitals, while lowercase forms keep a clear, readable silhouette; numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate tops and heavier verticals.
Best suited to display applications where its contrast can be appreciated: magazine heads, fashion and beauty branding, posters, packaging, and short pull quotes. It also works well for large numerals in titles or campaign graphics, while extended body text or small UI settings may lose clarity due to the hairline strokes.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility driven by extreme contrast and sharp, minimal detailing. It feels contemporary and luxurious, projecting precision and a slightly theatrical elegance rather than warmth or neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate Didone-like contrast into a serifless, modern form—prioritizing a refined, graphic look with strong vertical structure and minimal ornament. It aims for maximum impact through stark stroke hierarchy and disciplined geometry, making it a statement face for contemporary editorial and brand work.
Because so many horizontal and diagonal elements are extremely thin, the design creates a striking black-and-white rhythm at display sizes, but the texture becomes fragile when set small or used on low-resolution outputs. The type’s vertical emphasis is especially noticeable in rounded forms and in the strong, column-like stems across many glyphs, giving words a sleek, architectural cadence.
