A clean, wide sans with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and fairly geometric, with a calm, upright posture and generous interior space in rounds. Many strokes end in subtle flared or tapered terminals rather than blunt cuts, and diagonal joins show a slightly sheared, calligraphic influence. Overall spacing reads open and even, with clear counters and straightforward punctuation-like dots and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and brand typography where its wide stance and high-contrast structure can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine-style layouts, posters, and short blocks of text where a clean modern tone is desired without feeling strictly utilitarian.
The font feels contemporary and polished, balancing neutrality with a hint of editorial sophistication from its contrast and gently flared endings. It reads composed and premium rather than playful, with a restrained elegance suited to refined branding.
Likely designed to provide a versatile modern sans voice that remains neutral in structure while adding a more refined, editorial edge through contrast and subtly flared terminals. The overall goal appears to be clarity and contemporary appeal with a premium finish.
Uppercase forms have broad proportions and steady vertical rhythm, while lowercase keeps simple, single-storey construction where expected and maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals appear lining and proportionally compatible with the capitals, with smooth, open curves and crisp joins that stay legible at display sizes.
