A bold, high-contrast sans with distinctly flared terminals and a pronounced vertical stress. Strokes alternate between thick verticals and finer horizontals/diagonals, creating a sharp, graphic rhythm across both cases. Forms are generally open and clean with generous counters; round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as near-geometric with controlled modulation, while joins and intersections (K, R, W, X) stay crisp and stable. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and straightforward construction, with compact apertures and a single-storey a; figures are sturdy and legible with clear differentiation in shapes like 1, 4, and 7.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short editorial passages where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can work in branding and packaging when a modern, premium tone is desired, and it holds up well in larger blocks of text for magazines or cover lines when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, balancing modern simplicity with a slightly classical, display-driven contrast. The flared stroke endings add refinement and a hint of inscriptional seriousness, while the bold weight keeps it punchy and attention-grabbing. It feels polished and purposeful rather than playful, suited to strong typographic statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary sans voice with added sophistication through contrast and subtle flaring, offering a more editorial, display-ready alternative to neutral grotesques. It aims for clarity and impact while introducing a refined, slightly inscriptional nuance that elevates common headline typography.
Contrast and terminal treatment are consistent enough to keep paragraphs coherent, but the dramatic thick–thin transitions and flaring make it read most distinctive at larger sizes. The rounded letters maintain even curves, and the heavier verticals give text a firm, column-like texture.
