A sculpted, high-contrast sans with flared terminals and pronounced modulation that gives the strokes a calligraphic, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins stay crisp, producing a rhythmic alternation of thick verticals and hairline cross-strokes. Capitals feel broad and stately with strong internal whitespace; lowercase forms are compact and steady, with a single-storey a and g and a clean, open e. Numerals share the same sharp contrast and tapering, with especially slender 1–4 and more weighty, rounded 0/8/9.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, poster typography, magazine features, and brand marks where the strong contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, especially in clean layouts that give the letterforms room to breathe.
The overall tone is confident and stylish, balancing a contemporary sans structure with dramatic contrast that reads as editorial and fashion-forward. It conveys a refined, slightly theatrical voice—more about presence and elegance than neutrality.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, high-impact sans that borrows from calligraphic and flared-stroke traditions to create an elegant display voice. It prioritizes visual character and editorial sophistication while maintaining a largely sans-based skeleton for clarity.
Several glyphs show deliberate tapering at stroke ends (notably C, S, J, and t), and the narrow hairlines in E/F/T and the diagonal strokes in V/W/X heighten the sense of precision. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable for display sizes, where the contrast and flares remain clear and intentional.
