A clean sans with gently modulated strokes and subtle flaring at key terminals, giving the outlines a crisp, polished finish. Curves are smooth and close to circular (notably in O/C/G), while verticals stay straight and steady, producing an even texture in text. Apertures are generally open and counters are generous, supporting clarity at reading sizes. The lowercase combines simple, modern construction with occasional calligraphic hints—such as the single-storey a, the long-tailed q, and the compact r—creating a slightly more expressive rhythm than a purely geometric sans.
Well-suited to editorial typography, brand identities, and packaging where a modern, refined tone is needed. It also works effectively for short UI headings and display settings, delivering clean readability with a touch of sophistication in larger sizes and mixed-case text.
The overall tone is contemporary and poised, with a quiet sophistication that reads as premium rather than starkly utilitarian. The subtle contrast and flared details add a tasteful, editorial sensibility without feeling ornate, keeping the voice smooth, calm, and understated.
The design appears aimed at blending modern sans simplicity with restrained, premium detailing. By pairing open shapes and clean construction with subtle terminal flair and measured stroke modulation, it targets versatile communication that feels contemporary, elegant, and highly legible.
Capitals feel spacious with a measured, slightly wide stance and consistent curve tension; diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are sharp and neatly resolved. Numerals appear designed for readability, with clear differentiation and a restrained, elegant presence that matches the letterforms.
