A delicate, high-contrast display face built from razor-thin hairlines paired with swelling vertical stems. The construction is predominantly vertical and open, with generous counters and wide apertures that keep forms airy. Terminals are clean and sharp, with minimal ornament and a controlled, modern rhythm; curves are smooth and taut, and joins are handled with crisp transitions rather than heavy bracketing. Overall spacing feels measured and light, favoring tall silhouettes and a sleek, refined texture in words.
Best suited to large sizes where its fine hairlines and contrast can remain intact—headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and high-end branding. It can also work for short editorial subheads or packaging typography when printing conditions preserve thin strokes and sharp detail.
The tone is polished and elevated, projecting a fashion/editorial sensibility with a cool, contemporary restraint. The extreme contrast adds drama while the thin hairlines keep the voice whisper-light and sophisticated.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary luxury look through extreme contrast and disciplined, upright proportions, prioritizing elegance and impact over utilitarian text durability.
In text, the hairline horizontals and diagonals create a shimmering, striped texture, while thicker verticals anchor the line. The digit set matches the same contrast strategy, with elegant curves and fine connecting strokes that read best when given room and sufficient size.
