A contrasted, upright text face with clean, mostly sans construction that uses tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals to create a calligraphic rhythm. Vertical stems read sturdy while curves thin noticeably into joins, producing crisp transitions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Uppercase forms are compact and assertive with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and rounded bowls that stay open and clear; the lowercase follows with a straightforward, readable structure and a relatively even, practical x-height. Figures are traditional and high-contrast, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) balancing straighter digits (1, 4, 7) for a coherent text set.
This font is well suited to headlines and subheads where its contrast and sharp structure can add presence and sophistication. It also performs effectively in editorial settings such as magazine layouts, pull quotes, and section titling, and can bring a refined, contemporary voice to branding and promotional typography.
The overall tone feels editorial and polished, combining modern clarity with a hint of classical refinement from the tapered strokes and flared endings. It communicates seriousness and confidence without becoming overly ornamental, making it feel composed and intentional on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans-like silhouette enriched by deliberate contrast and tapered detailing, bridging modern utility with a more crafted, typographic feel. The goal seems to be a versatile display-to-text voice that stays readable while adding distinctive rhythm and polish.
In running text the contrast creates a lively texture, with thinner horizontals and joins giving a slightly sparkling, print-like color. The shapes maintain a consistent, disciplined rhythm, while small quirks in terminals and curve handling add personality without disrupting legibility.
