A clean, upright sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads almost chiseled in places. Strokes are predominantly straight and vertical with crisp terminals, while curves are smooth and controlled, creating a disciplined rhythm across text. Proportions lean slightly tall, with relatively long ascenders and descenders and a clear, even baseline. Bowls and counters are generally open and round, and the contrast is expressed through tapered joins and varying stroke expansion rather than overt ornament.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display-sized editorial typography where its contrast can add character without sacrificing legibility. It also works well for branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a crisp, contemporary sans with a refined edge.
The overall tone is modern and assured, balancing clarity with a touch of sophistication from its contrast. It feels editorial and design-forward without becoming decorative, lending a composed, premium voice to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to modernize the sans-serif voice by introducing noticeable contrast and tapered stroke behavior while preserving straightforward, readable letterforms. It aims to offer a versatile, design-conscious tone that can feel both utilitarian and elevated depending on size and layout.
In running text, the modulation adds sparkle and hierarchy, while the restrained geometry keeps the texture orderly. Numerals follow the same contrasted logic, with clean curves and firm verticals that maintain a cohesive, contemporary presence.
