A crisp, high-contrast sans with clean, mostly unbracketed strokes and a pronounced modulation that shows most clearly in diagonals and joins. The proportions feel balanced and slightly wide in the round letters, with open counters and a clear, readable rhythm in text. Terminals are generally straight and sharp, while some lowercase forms introduce subtle idiosyncrasies—most notably a single-storey “a” and “g,” a compact shoulder on “r,” and a distinctive “y” with a rounded, heavier left stem and a lighter, angled right arm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with a simple, legible construction and smooth curves in “6,” “8,” and “9.”
Well suited to editorial headlines, brand wordmarks, and packaging where a modern sans voice with added refinement is desired. It can also work for posters and pull quotes, especially where the distinctive lowercase shapes can be part of the visual identity.
The overall tone is contemporary and polished, mixing a rational sans structure with a hint of calligraphic energy from the stroke modulation. It reads as elegant and editorial rather than utilitarian, giving headlines and short blocks of copy a composed, design-forward presence.
Likely designed to offer a contemporary sans foundation with elevated contrast and a few signature lowercase forms, balancing clean modernism with expressive stroke behavior for distinctive display typography.
Uppercase geometry stays restrained and clean, while the lowercase carries more personality through asymmetric joins and slightly varied stroke emphasis. The contrast is assertive but not ornamental, keeping word shapes crisp at display sizes and maintaining clarity across mixed-case settings.
