A high-contrast, upright roman with largely unbracketed forms and subtly flared, tapered terminals that give many strokes a chiseled, pen-cut feel. Capitals are tall and clean, with smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and sharp, linear diagonals (V, W, X, Y) that keep the rhythm crisp. The lowercase shows moderate x-height with clear, open counters; several letters use gentle stroke modulation and softened joins that read as controlled rather than ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, pairing thin hairlines with firm verticals for a tidy, contemporary texture.
Well-suited to magazines, book jackets, and editorial systems where high-contrast letterforms can provide a polished voice in titles and pull quotes. It can also support branding and packaging that needs a clean, contemporary look with elevated detail, and works effectively for posters and hero text where the tapered terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing modern clarity with a hint of classical sophistication from its stroke modulation and flared endings. It feels poised and articulate—confident in headlines and composed in longer settings—without drifting into overly decorative display territory.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans reading experience enriched by visible stroke modulation and flared terminals, creating a premium, fashion-leaning voice while keeping forms straightforward and legible. It aims to combine crisp geometry with a subtle calligraphic edge for versatile, high-impact typography.
In text, the face maintains a steady, even color despite the contrast, aided by open apertures and straightforward construction. The punctuation and curved forms appear carefully drawn to avoid brittleness, while the tapered terminals add distinctive sparkle at larger sizes.
