A high-contrast sans with a distinctive tension between hairline strokes and thick verticals. Shapes are largely geometric and upright, with squared/flattened curves on rounds (notably in C, G, O, Q) that read almost as soft rectangles. Terminals are clean and mostly unbracketed, with occasional fine horizontal hairlines and precise joins that create an architectural, poster-like rhythm. Proportions vary by glyph—wide rounds and narrow vertical letters—giving the alphabet a dynamic, display-leaning texture despite a restrained construction.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, posters, and brand marks where its high contrast and squared-round construction can be appreciated. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but it visually performs strongest when given room and good reproduction quality.
The overall tone is polished and contemporary, with a luxe, editorial feel. The extreme contrast and crisp edges suggest sophistication and formality, while the simplified, serifless forms keep it modern rather than classical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning display voice by pushing contrast to an extreme within a clean sans framework. Its squared rounds and controlled geometry aim for a distinctive, memorable silhouette while maintaining a disciplined, minimal finish.
In text, the thin horizontals and delicate connection points become prominent, creating a sparkling, high-fashion texture but also making stroke breakpoints and tight counters more noticeable at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine hairline details that emphasize a stylish, boutique character.
