A refined, wide-proportioned sans with pronounced stroke contrast and an overall clean, contemporary construction. Round forms (O, o, e) are smooth and elliptical with open counters, while straighter letters rely on crisp verticals and delicate crossbars that often read as hairline elements. Terminals are largely plain and unbracketed, with occasional tapered or subtly curved finishes in diagonals and hooks. Spacing feels generous, and the rhythm alternates between strong vertical stems and light connecting strokes, giving the face an airy, high-end texture in both display lines and mixed-case text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand-driven layouts where its contrast and width can read clearly. It also works for poster titling and minimalist packaging or identity systems that want a modern, premium tone; for long body text, it will generally perform best at comfortable sizes where the fine strokes remain distinct.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, balancing minimalism with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its wide stance and high-contrast detailing project an upscale, editorial mood—calm and modern rather than playful or rustic.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, wide sans voice with a luxury/editorial sensibility, using contrast and thin horizontals to create a distinctive, polished texture without leaning on overt ornament. The overall system emphasizes clarity and openness while adding visual sophistication through stroke modulation.
In text, the thin horizontal strokes and fine joins become a key part of the character, creating a sleek sparkle that favors larger sizes and good reproduction conditions. The numeral set follows the same contrast-led logic, with graceful curves on 2/3/5/6/9 and a simple, linear 1 and 7 that keep the overall palette restrained.
