A display-focused sans with sculpted, calligraphic contrast and expansive proportions. Strokes alternate between hefty verticals and razor-thin hairlines, with pointed wedge terminals and frequent angled cut-ins that create sharp interior notches and high-contrast counters. Curves are rounded but chiseled, producing a rhythmic pattern of thick black forms interrupted by needle-like joins—especially visible in diagonals and the bowls of letters like O, Q, and a. The overall texture is bold and graphic, with compact apertures and a slightly condensed internal spacing that heightens the black-and-white interplay at larger sizes.
Best used for headlines, mastheads, short pull quotes, and brand marks where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It also fits fashion, beauty, and culture-forward packaging and campaigns, and works well for large-format posters or hero text on the web.
The tone is striking and editorial, balancing modern clarity with a couture-like sharpness. Its razor-thin connections and carved shapes read as sophisticated and dramatic, suited to attention-grabbing typography with a premium feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans silhouette with an intentionally carved, high-contrast voice—combining wide, confident letterforms with razor-thin joins to create an assertive, premium display texture.
Several glyphs show distinctive triangular incisions and hairline connectors that can visually disappear at small sizes, making the design feel intentionally display-oriented. Numerals mirror the same sculpted contrast, with slender stems and strong curved masses that maintain the font’s sharp, stylized rhythm.
