A slender, monoline-leaning sans with clear calligraphic modulation: strokes taper into pointed, flared terminals and many joins resolve into sharp, triangular apexes. Curves are smooth and slightly high-waisted, with generous counters and open apertures that keep forms light on the page. The rhythm alternates between straight, blade-like stems and rounded bowls, creating a crisp, engraved feel without true serifs. Numerals echo the same tapered logic, with elegant curves and delicate entry/exit strokes that give figures a slightly expressive, display-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short paragraphs where its tapered detailing remains visible—magazine typography, brand wordmarks, fashion/arts collateral, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for larger-size editorial text when a crisp, elegant voice is desired over strict neutrality.
The overall tone is refined and airy, balancing modern cleanliness with a subtle, crafted sharpness. It reads as elegant and editorial, with a hint of fashion or cultural publishing—polished rather than casual, and more expressive than a neutral grotesk.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary sans structure enriched with calligraphic tapering, producing an elegant, high-contrast impression without relying on traditional serifs. It prioritizes visual sophistication and distinctive rhythm, aiming for a modern editorial character that stands out in display settings.
Diagonal strokes (notably in letters like A, K, V, W, X, Y) appear especially blade-like, emphasizing precision and a slightly dramatic silhouette. The lowercase shows distinctive, tapered endings and a lively texture in running text, while the caps maintain a disciplined, geometric stance.
