A high-contrast design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and subtly flared, serifless terminals. Curves are clean and generously open, while stems and diagonals taper with a calligraphic logic that creates a lively rhythm across words. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned with wide bowls and clear geometry; the lowercase shows a readable, slightly varied texture with distinctive forms like a double-storey g and a compact, efficient t. Numerals follow the same contrast and curvature, with smooth bowls and fine joining strokes that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and brand systems where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. It performs particularly well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and large-size settings, and can also work for short text blocks when generous spacing and comfortable sizes are used.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, balancing contemporary cleanliness with an editorial, fashion-forward elegance. Its sharp contrast and tapered details read as premium and intentional, lending a sense of sophistication without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast sans voice that nods to calligraphic construction while staying clean and modern. It aims for a premium, display-friendly presence with enough clarity and consistency to support editorial typography.
The stroke contrast produces a bright page color at text sizes, while at display sizes the tapered terminals and crisp joins become the main character. Round letters (O, C, Q, o, e) appear especially smooth and controlled, helping the font feel composed even when set large.
