This typeface uses an oblique, high-contrast construction with tapered strokes and gently flared terminals that create a crisp, ink-trap-like sharpness at joins. Curves are smooth and relatively open, while straight stems lean consistently, giving the alphabet a forward rhythm. Proportions feel generous with wide letterforms and ample internal counters, and the spacing reads even in text despite the pronounced slant. Numerals and capitals share the same angled stress and contrast pattern, producing a cohesive, polished texture.
It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where the oblique rhythm and contrast can be appreciated. It also suits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a sleek, energetic sans with a more crafted, typographic feel than a neutral workhorse.
The overall tone is modern and editorial, balancing refinement with energy. Its slanted stance and sharp terminals add a sense of motion and confidence, while the clean shapes keep it composed rather than decorative. The result feels suitable for contemporary branding that wants sophistication without stiffness.
The design appears intended to merge sans simplicity with a more calligraphic, stress-driven structure, adding character through contrast, tapering, and oblique momentum while keeping forms clean and readable. It prioritizes a distinctive page color and a refined, contemporary presence in display and editorial contexts.
In the grid, key forms show consistent angled stress across rounds (C, O, G) and diagonals (V, W, X), and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The design’s contrast and tapering become more pronounced at larger sizes, where the sharp joins and curved terminals contribute to a distinctive voice.
