This typeface is a crisp, upright sans with rounded construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thin horizontal/diagonal connections and fuller verticals, giving letters a slightly calligraphic rhythm while maintaining a clean sans profile. Counters are open and spacious, and many terminals end softly with subtle rounding rather than sharp cuts. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with clear forms and steady alignment across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It suits editorial layouts, brand systems, and headline typography where a clean sans is desired but with extra finesse from stroke modulation. It should also work well for posters and display settings where the open counters and smooth curves help maintain clarity at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with a refined, editorial polish. Its soft rounding keeps it approachable, while the contrast and clean geometry lend a more premium, thoughtfully designed voice than a purely utilitarian grotesk.
The design appears intended to blend modern sans clarity with a touch of refined contrast, creating a versatile voice that reads as contemporary and polished without becoming rigid or overly technical. The softened terminals and open shapes suggest an emphasis on readability and approachability in both display and supporting text roles.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey simplicity (notably the ‘a’), and the ‘g’ appears single-storey with a generous lower bowl, reinforcing an accessible, contemporary feel. Numerals are clear and fairly open, with rounded curves on ‘0’, ‘3’, ‘6’, ‘8’, and ‘9’ that match the letterforms’ smoothness.
