A clean, upright sans with noticeable stroke modulation and a slightly calligraphic, humanist skeleton. Curves are smoothly drawn with open counters, while verticals read firm and straight, creating a clear dark–light rhythm across words. Terminals are mostly crisp and clean, with occasional soft curvature at joins and ends that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical. Proportions are balanced and readable, with a moderate cap presence and a straightforward, uncluttered lowercase.
It suits editorial layouts, reports, and long-form reading where a neutral but slightly dressed-up sans is helpful. It also works well for branding and headlines that need a contemporary, refined tone without becoming decorative, and can serve in interface typography when a clean, polished texture is desired.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with a refined, editorial polish rather than a purely utilitarian voice. The contrast adds a touch of sophistication and quiet formality while remaining approachable for everyday reading.
The design appears intended to bridge functional sans readability with a more cultivated, contrast-driven finish. It aims for a versatile text-and-display voice that feels modern and measured, adding elegance through controlled stroke variation rather than ornament.
The alphabet shows consistent geometry and spacing, producing an even, calm text color in the sample paragraph. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained, high-clarity construction, supporting a tidy, contemporary typographic palette.
