A clean, contrasted sans with a geometric backbone and smooth, rounded curves. Stems and diagonals read sturdy while curved strokes thin noticeably at the sides, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a refined, high-contrast rhythm. Terminals are predominantly squared-off, with occasional soft shaping in joins and bowls; counters are open and generously sized for clarity. Uppercase forms feel constructed and stately, while the lowercase introduces more softness and distinct forms such as a single-storey “a” and a looped “g,” creating a controlled but lively texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, brand marks, and editorial typography where the contrast can add sophistication at medium to large sizes. It can also work for short paragraphs and captions when spacing is handled carefully, but its stylistic contrast reads most strongly in display and marketing contexts.
The overall tone is modern and editorial—polished, intentional, and slightly dramatic due to the contrast and the mix of sturdy stems with delicate curves. It feels confident and design-forward rather than utilitarian, with a fashion or magazine sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary sans voice with added elegance through contrast—combining geometric clarity with a more crafted, editorial finish for attention-grabbing, premium-feeling typography.
The mix of geometric circular letters and more angular, weighty diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) creates a dynamic cadence. Numerals appear clear and display-friendly, with several figures echoing the same contrast strategy seen in the round letters.
