A compact, heavy display face with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, sculpted contours. Strokes swell and taper noticeably, creating a rhythmic thick–thin pattern even in otherwise simple forms, while terminals often finish in subtle wedge-like flares rather than fully formed serifs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded (notably in C, O, S, and 8), contrasted by sharp internal corners and clean joins that keep counters open and legible at large sizes. Proportions feel slightly compact with confident verticals, and spacing reads even in text while preserving strong, headline-driven shapes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display settings where the modulation and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and editorial layouts, brand identities, and packaging that need a confident, premium tone and strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is editorial and assertive, combining a contemporary cleanliness with a touch of classical drama from the strong modulation. It feels refined and serious, lending a premium, authoritative voice that can also read as slightly theatrical when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern display voice that stays clean and readable while using strong contrast and flared terminals to add sophistication and impact. It aims to bridge contemporary sans simplicity with a more crafted, editorial character for high-visibility typography.
Numerals show clear contrast and sturdy silhouettes, with rounded figures (0, 8, 9) balancing angular ones (4, 7). The lowercase has a straightforward, sturdy rhythm with a single-storey a and g, and the dot on i/j appears square, reinforcing the crisp, constructed feel.
