A clean, high-contrast roman with broadly sans-like construction and gently rounded curves. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and heavier verticals, producing a crisp rhythm without overt ornament. Terminals tend to be sharply cut, and curves are smooth and fairly geometric, with open counters and a slightly high-waisted feel in several forms. Proportions stay straightforward and readable, while widths vary naturally from narrow forms like I and l to broader rounds like O and 0.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where the contrast and clean shapes can read sharply—headlines, magazine layouts, brand wordmarks, and packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text in pull quotes or subheads where a crisp, modern voice is needed.
The tone is contemporary and composed, with a polished editorial bite created by the strong thick–thin contrast. It feels confident and precise rather than playful, reading as refined and streamlined on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, sans-leaning reading experience with a refined thick–thin structure—bridging minimal contemporary forms with a more editorial contrast model. It prioritizes clear silhouettes and a controlled, polished rhythm for impactful typography.
Uppercase forms show clear, simple silhouettes with restrained detailing, while lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and uncluttered joins. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and sit comfortably alongside text, giving the overall set a cohesive, print-like presence.
