A high-contrast, upright roman with crisp, sheared terminals and a clean, contemporary skeleton. Strokes transition from hairline-thin to heavy verticals, creating a pronounced light–dark rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and slightly sculpted (notably in C, G, S, and the round letters), while joins stay tidy and controlled. Proportions read on the wider side with generous bowls and open counters; the lowercase keeps a straightforward, unembellished construction with a single-storey a and g and a compact, functional t.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and sharp terminals can read as intentional detail: magazine headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size, where hairlines won’t be lost.
The overall tone feels polished and editorial, combining elegance from the contrast with a cool, modern restraint. It suggests confidence and clarity rather than warmth, leaning toward premium, fashion-adjacent sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice that bridges clean sans-like simplicity with the elegance of modern display romans. Its wide stance, open counters, and crisp terminals prioritize impact and refined texture in prominent typographic settings.
Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with a distinctive, thin-stroked 4 and more substantial curves in 6, 8, and 9. Diagonals in V/W/X/Y are sharply cut and graphic, while round letters maintain a smooth, even curvature that keeps the texture consistent in longer text.
