A high-contrast, upright sans with calligraphic-like modulation and softened terminals. Strokes transition from thick verticals to noticeably thinner horizontals and joins, giving letters a crisp, drawn rhythm without becoming ornate. Proportions are generally balanced with a moderate x-height, round bowls, and open apertures; counters stay clear in text. Uppercase forms are straightforward and stable, while lowercase shows longer ascenders/descenders and a more flowing, humanist construction, including a double-storey ‘a’ and a two-storey ‘g’. Numerals echo the same contrast and curvature, with slender joins and generous inner space in rounded figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, and brand systems that want a clean sans voice with extra refinement from contrast. It should perform especially well in headings, pull quotes, and display sizes, while remaining readable for short-to-medium text blocks where a slightly elevated, polished tone is desired.
The font feels contemporary and polished, with a subtle editorial sophistication driven by its contrast and smooth curves. It reads calm and professional rather than starkly geometric, adding a hint of warmth through its humanist shaping.
The design appears intended to offer a modern sans foundation enriched with high-contrast modulation, bridging contemporary minimalism and editorial elegance. Its goal seems to be clarity and versatility while adding distinctive rhythm and a more cultivated texture than a purely monoline sans.
Diagonal letters (like V/W/X/Y) appear sharp and energetic due to thin inner joins against heavier outer strokes, while curved letters maintain an even, elliptical flow. The overall spacing and stroke economy support continuous reading, especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast becomes a defining character feature.
