A sharply contrasted display face with crisp, modern construction and extremely thin hairlines set against bold vertical stems. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed joins and needle-like terminals that create a precise, high-fashion rhythm. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the overall spacing stays controlled and airy, letting the fine strokes read as intentional details rather than texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same sculpted contrast, with single-story forms (notably the ‘g’) and minimalist, straight-sided structure where possible.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size applications where the extreme contrast can shine. It works particularly well in fashion and lifestyle contexts, luxury branding, and poster-style compositions that benefit from sharp, elegant letterforms.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—cool, premium, and intentionally dramatic. Its knife-thin details and stark thick–thin transitions suggest couture, gallery branding, and high-end publishing rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design intention appears focused on delivering a contemporary, high-contrast look that feels premium and editorial, prioritizing striking forms and refined detail for display typography.
Several glyphs emphasize razor-like diagonals and very fine horizontal strokes, which heighten the sense of precision and delicacy. The design leans on strong vertical stress and clean geometry, producing striking silhouettes and distinctive word shapes in headlines.
