A clean, contemporary serif with subtly flared stroke endings and crisp, chiseled terminals. Strokes read largely even in weight, but with intentional tapering and widening at joins and ends that gives the outlines a shaped, engineered feel. Curves are slightly squared off—especially in bowls and rounds—producing a taut, geometric rhythm rather than a purely calligraphic one. Uppercase forms are sturdy and open, while lowercase shows compact, controlled shapes with short, crisp serifs and neatly finished arcs; overall spacing and proportions feel balanced and built for clear display rendering.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where the crisp terminals and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and editorial display typography that wants a contemporary serif with a technical edge. For longer text, it’s likely most effective at comfortable reading sizes where the shaped terminals and squared curves don’t overcrowd.
The tone is modern and slightly futuristic, with an architectural sharpness that feels precise and purposeful. Its flared endings add a refined, crafted edge, keeping it from feeling coldly mechanical while still projecting confidence and clarity.
The design appears intended to blend serif tradition with a modern, engineered sensibility—using flared endings and chiseled terminals to create a distinctive signature while keeping letterforms clean and structured for contemporary display use.
The numerals and caps maintain a consistent, structured voice, with rounded characters tending toward squarish counters and flat-ish curve transitions. Pointed diagonals and clean verticals create strong word shapes, and the flared terminals provide distinctive texture in headlines without becoming decorative.
