This typeface presents a clean, upright construction with subtly tapered strokes and distinctive flared or wedge-like terminals that add shape without reading as traditional serifs. Curves are smooth and generous, while diagonals and joints are sharpened, creating a crisp rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Counters stay open and legible, and round forms (C, O, e) show controlled modulation that gives the letters a lightly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Overall spacing looks even and text color is solid, with a slightly dynamic silhouette driven by the tapering and cut-in terminals.
Well-suited to branding and headline typography where a clean sans structure with a refined, tapered finish can carry a distinctive identity. It also works for editorial display—section heads, pull quotes, and cover lines—where crisp rhythm and open counters help maintain readability at larger sizes.
The tone feels polished and contemporary with a hint of classic inscriptional refinement. The sharp terminals and gentle modulation convey confidence and clarity, making it read as serious and designed rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to bridge straightforward sans construction with a more crafted, contrasted finish, adding personality through tapered strokes and wedge-like terminals while preserving clarity in running words.
Capitals lean toward wide, stable proportions with clean geometry, while lowercase combines rounded bowls with pointed or angled stroke endings that create a distinctive texture in words. Numerals follow the same logic—simple silhouettes with tapered finishing—supporting a cohesive voice in mixed text and display settings.
