A contrasted, upright roman with clean, largely serifless forms that still show subtle flared terminals and occasional soft, bracket-like transitions at joins. Strokes shift between sturdy verticals and noticeably lighter horizontals and curves, giving a crisp, sculpted rhythm. The uppercase is tall and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase keeps clear apertures and a straightforward, readable structure. Figures are proportional with smooth curves and a distinct contrast pattern that remains consistent across the set.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and brand systems where a clean voice benefits from visible contrast and refined detailing. It can also work for display-forward packaging or posters, especially where a modern, authoritative tone is desired. In longer passages it remains readable, but it will be most effective when given enough size and spacing to let the contrast and terminals show.
The overall tone feels refined and editorial, projecting confidence without ornament. Its contrast and tapered endings add a slightly formal, crafted character that reads as contemporary and composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a sans-like skeleton with the sophistication of a contrasted roman, using tapered terminals and controlled modulation to add elegance while staying restrained. It aims for a contemporary editorial look that feels premium and dependable.
Round letters (like C, O, and G) show smooth, controlled curvature and open counters, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear sharp and clean. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and open forms that help text stay clear at larger sizes, with punctuation and dots reading as crisp, solid marks in the sample.
