A humanist sans with gently tapered strokes and noticeable modulation that gives letters an inked, calligraphic rhythm without becoming decorative. Curves are full and open, with slightly flared or sheared terminals that create a subtle wedge-like finish in places. Round forms (C, O, Q) feel generous and smooth, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) carry a crisp, forward energy. Lowercase shows a compact, sturdy build with rounded bowls and a single‑storey a; the overall texture reads even but lively due to small width shifts and tapering at joins and ends.
Well-suited to branding systems that want a contemporary voice with warmth, as well as headlines and subheads in magazines or digital editorial layouts. It can also work effectively on packaging and poster-style applications where a clean sans is desired but with added character and rhythm.
The tone balances professionalism with friendliness: it feels modern and readable, yet less mechanical than a purely geometric sans. The tapered details add a touch of warmth and editorial character, making text feel energetic and slightly expressive without losing clarity.
The design appears intended to bridge clean sans usability with subtle calligraphic influence, adding taper and modulation to increase personality while maintaining a practical, modern reading experience.
The figures look sturdy and headline-ready, with strong silhouettes and clear differentiation. In paragraphs, the modulation and terminal shaping add texture that can help avoid a flat, monotonous gray while still staying controlled and consistent.
