A heavy, high-contrast sans with subtly flared stroke endings and a mix of geometric and humanist construction. Curves are smooth and round (notably in C, O, and G), while many joins and terminals show slight widening that reads as tapered or flared rather than strictly monoline. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with simple, squared-off horizontals in E/F/T and a clean, open counter rhythm; the G has a clear horizontal bar and the Q uses a distinct diagonal tail. Lowercase includes a single-storey a, open c/e, and a compact, sturdy m/n; the t has a short crossbar and the r is minimal, keeping word shapes crisp. Numerals are strong and display-oriented, with a curved-foot 2 and a more calligraphic, open 4 that adds personality to the set.
This font is best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its contrast and flared terminals can read clearly—magazine titles, posters, brand marks, and packaging systems. It also works well for editorial display typography where you want a modern sans voice with a distinctive, crafted finish and expressive numerals.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a slightly idiosyncratic edge coming from the flared terminals and the energetic, display-like numeral and lowercase details. It feels designed to be noticed—clean enough for modern layouts, but not anonymous—projecting a bold, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to bridge modern sans clarity with a more crafted, high-impact texture, using terminal flare and controlled contrast to keep forms sharp and memorable in display settings. Its lettershapes aim for straightforward readability while injecting personality through select lowercase and numeral details.
Stroke contrast and terminal flare create a subtle "inked" texture in text, especially around junctions and on curved letters, helping large headlines feel lively rather than purely mechanical. The mix of very geometric capitals and more characterful lowercase and figures adds visual variety without breaking consistency.
