This typeface combines monoline-thin hairlines with heavy vertical stems, producing a pronounced vertical rhythm and a tightly controlled, graphic texture. Curves are drawn with smooth, squared-off transitions and subtle rounding at corners, while many terminals end in clean, flared cuts rather than traditional serifs. Uppercase forms read relatively narrow and tall, with compact bowls (B, P, R) and deep counters that emphasize the thick–thin structure. Lowercase is similarly structured, with sturdy verticals in b, d, p, and q, and simplified, high-contrast constructions in letters like a, e, and s; diagonals (v, w, y, x) appear razor-like due to extremely fine connecting strokes. Numerals are bold and poster-ready, with the same compressed, high-contrast build and squared inner shapes.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and compact width can create drama without requiring oversized point sizes. It can also support branding and packaging systems that want a sleek, high-fashion presence, especially when used with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is striking and editorial, balancing refinement with a slightly industrial, poster-driven assertiveness. Its high-contrast silhouette and condensed presence suggest a fashion or culture-magazine mood, while the sharp joins and crisp terminals add a contemporary edge.
The design appears intended as a contemporary high-contrast display sans that captures the elegance of Didone-like contrast while keeping terminals clean and minimally flared. Its narrow, vertical emphasis and crisp detailing aim to deliver strong impact in titles and short bursts of text.
At larger sizes the hairlines become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture in mixed-case text; at smaller sizes those fine connections and thin horizontals may visually recede. The design’s consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures makes it especially cohesive for display settings where contrast and rhythm carry the voice.
