A contrasted, upright sans with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic: thick verticals and curved stems are paired with very fine hairline joins, cross-strokes, and diagonals. Letterforms are generally open and clean, with rounded bowls and smooth curves, while terminals often taper to points or slight flares; several lowercase forms show small ball-like terminals (notably on j/c/f). The overall rhythm alternates between strong, dark primary strokes and delicate connecting lines, producing a lively texture in text. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with thin diagonals and prominent curves, and the design reads as precise rather than geometric or grotesque.
This font suits editorial and brand settings where a refined, high-contrast texture is desirable—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty identities, premium packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short blocks of large text where the delicate hairlines remain clear and the dramatic stroke modulation contributes to the visual voice.
The typeface feels poised and fashion-forward, combining modern simplicity with a hint of formal, calligraphic refinement. The sharp hairlines and tapered ends add a luxurious, editorial tone, while the restrained sans structure keeps it contemporary and clean. Overall it conveys sophistication and polish more than neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with high-contrast, calligraphy-influenced detailing, creating a distinctive display voice that feels both modern and upscale. Its stroke modulation and tapered terminals are likely meant to add elegance and memorability without moving into fully serif territory.
At display sizes the hairlines and pointed joins become a defining feature, giving characters a crisp, high-definition look. The uppercase has a stately presence with generous curves and carefully controlled spacing, while the lowercase introduces more personality through asymmetric strokes and distinctive terminals.
