A contrasted sans with broad proportions and generous interior space, combining near-geometric bowls with subtly humanist modulation. Strokes show clear thick–thin transitions, especially in curves and diagonals, while terminals remain clean and largely unbracketed. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and spacious (round C/G/O and a wide, symmetrical M/W), and the lowercase pairs this with a single-storey a and g, open apertures, and a distinctly curved descender on j. Numerals follow the same logic with rounded shapes and strong weight distribution for clear silhouette recognition.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short paragraphs where a clean sans with visible stroke modulation adds character. Its wide set and open counters make it effective for branding and packaging, and it can carry poster and marketing layouts that benefit from a confident, contemporary voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and assured, with a polished, editorial crispness from the contrast and a friendly accessibility from the open, rounded forms. It reads as straightforward and professional rather than decorative, balancing warmth with a purposeful, modern presence.
Likely designed to deliver a modern sans palette with extra sophistication from controlled contrast—aiming for clarity and presence in display and editorial contexts while staying approachable through rounded, open shapes.
Round letters maintain consistent curvature and smooth joins, while flatter horizontals and strong verticals create a steady rhythm in text. The contrast gives emphasis at display sizes without resorting to ornament, and the open counters help keep dense lines from feeling cramped.
