A clean, geometric sans with pronounced stroke contrast and smooth, circular bowls. Curves stay generous and open, while straight strokes are crisp and often terminate with rounded ends, creating a polished, slightly calligraphic stress within an otherwise minimal structure. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, and the design shows subtle width variation between letters, giving text a lively rhythm without losing overall regularity.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where the stroke contrast can be appreciated at size, such as magazine/editorial layouts, branding systems, posters, and packaging. It can also work for UI or captions when set large enough to preserve the thin strokes and maintain clarity.
The typeface reads as modern and refined, with an editorial calmness that feels both contemporary and lightly stylized. Its contrast and rounded finishing details add a touch of sophistication, making it feel more curated than utilitarian, while still remaining approachable and clear.
The design appears intended to blend geometric sans simplicity with a more expressive, contrast-driven voice—offering a contemporary display tone that stays clean and legible while adding elegance through stress and terminal treatment.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” and “g,” a simple, clean “t” with a short crossbar, and a legible “Q” with a neat tail. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with rounded forms (notably 0, 8, 9) that keep the set cohesive and smooth in texture.
