A clean, upright sans with slender hairline strokes and pronounced stroke modulation that gives curves and terminals a sharp, crisp finish. Forms are broadly geometric—round counters, smooth bowls, and open apertures—while verticals read steady and straight. Terminals are mostly unadorned and precise, with occasional subtle flaring on curved joins (notably in rounded letters and some numerals). Spacing appears even and calm, and the set maintains consistent proportions across capitals, lowercase, and figures for a cohesive text rhythm.
Well-suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, brand marks, packaging, and refined promotional materials where crisp contrast and spacious shapes can shine. It can also work for short passages in larger sizes, especially when a clean, elevated tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and understated, balancing modern clarity with a fashion/editorial sophistication. Its high-contrast delicacy feels premium and quiet rather than loud or playful, lending a composed, curated voice to headlines and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans voice with elevated contrast and careful curve control, aiming for a premium, editorial feel without relying on overt ornament. It prioritizes visual elegance and clean geometry while maintaining a straightforward, legible skeleton.
Uppercase forms lean toward classic, spacious proportions with generous curves (notably C, O, Q), while lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable construction with a single-storey a and clean, open shapes. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin joins and smooth curves that echo the letterforms.
