This typeface presents as a clean, upright sans with subtly humanist construction and noticeable stroke modulation. Stems are generally sturdy while joins and terminals show tapering and occasional sharp, wedge-like finishes, creating a crisp rhythm without feeling rigidly geometric. Counters are open and rounded forms (like C, O, e) stay smooth, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) read precise and slightly calligraphic in their transitions. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable skeleton with a two-storey “a,” a compact “r,” and a single-storey “g,” giving text a balanced, contemporary texture.
It is well suited to branding and headline work where a clean sans is desired but with a bit of sharpness and sophistication. The open forms and steady paragraph color also make it a practical choice for editorial settings such as magazines, product stories, and short-to-medium reading passages, as well as packaging and identity systems that need a contemporary, premium feel.
The overall tone is modern and editorial, mixing functional clarity with a refined, slightly dramatic edge from its tapered details and contrast. It feels confident and polished—serious enough for information design, yet distinctive enough to carry a brand voice.
The design appears intended to bridge utilitarian sans clarity with a more tailored, high-design finish. By combining open, readable shapes with tapered terminals and controlled contrast, it aims to stay versatile in text while offering enough character for display and brand applications.
Numerals appear lining with clear, sturdy silhouettes and a more stylized “1.” The uppercase set reads authoritative and stable, while the lowercase maintains an even color in paragraphs, with small moments of personality at terminals and joins that prevent the face from feeling generic.
