A heavy, high-contrast sans with smooth, rounded curves and subtly flared stroke endings that give many terminals a tapered, almost serif-like finish without true serifs. The letterforms lean geometric overall—near-circular O/o and broad bowls—while joins and apertures are carefully sculpted, producing crisp internal cut-ins and occasional ink-trap-like notches. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and compact, with wide, flat horizontals (E, F, T) and strong diagonals (V, W, Y). The lowercase is clean and contemporary with a single-storey a, single-storey g, a compact r, and a gently curved, hook-like t; dots are round and prominent.
Best suited for headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography where its contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, especially in layouts that benefit from a modern, high-impact sans with a refined finish.
The font reads as contemporary and design-forward, balancing a clean sans foundation with fashion/editorial refinement from its contrast and tapered terminals. Its rhythm feels confident and slightly dramatic, lending a curated, high-impact tone rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary sans voice with elevated, editorial character—using contrast, rounded geometry, and tapered terminals to create a distinctive silhouette while maintaining clear, familiar structures.
The numerals are bold and display-leaning, with rounded forms in 0/8/9 and a distinctive, open, stylized 5 and 7. The overall texture is dark and even at display sizes, while the sculpted counters and tapered terminals add sparkle and prevent the face from feeling overly blunt.
