A high-contrast, display-oriented face with broad proportions and emphatic vertical stems. Curves show a noticeably calligraphic feel with vertical stress, sharp joins, and tapered strokes that flare into rounded terminals, while straight-sided letters keep a firm, upright posture. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend toward the closed side, producing a dense, dark texture in words. The lowercase mixes sturdy bowls with small finishing terminals (notably in a, f, t, and y), and the numerals echo the same contrast and rounded endings for a cohesive set.
Best suited for headlines, decks, posters, and brand marks where strong contrast and a dark, confident texture are desirable. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, but the dense word color suggests using generous size and leading for longer passages.
The overall tone is assertive and polished, reading as contemporary-classic rather than purely geometric or purely humanist. It projects a premium, editorial voice—authoritative and slightly dramatic—thanks to the strong thick–thin rhythm and condensed internal spaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern display voice that borrows from calligraphic contrast while maintaining clean, sans-like construction. Its goal is impact and sophistication, emphasizing sculpted curves and a consistent thick–thin cadence across letters and figures.
Spacing appears comfortable for headlines, but the tighter apertures and compact counters create a heavier paragraph color as sizes get smaller. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q feel particularly sculpted, and the punctuation-like terminals across the set add a subtle, crafted personality.
