A clean, upright sans with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline-like joins, giving strokes a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel while remaining fundamentally geometric. Curves are smooth and generous, with round counters and a steady baseline; terminals are mostly crisp and straight, with occasional tapered or thinned connections where diagonals meet. Proportions run open and roomy, producing clear interior space in letters like O, D, and P, while the overall rhythm stays even across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where the contrast and open counters can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits branding and packaging that want a clean sans foundation with extra sophistication, and it can work for editorial subheads or pull quotes where a refined, high-contrast texture is desirable.
The tone reads modern and editorial—polished enough for high-end layouts, yet assertive and energetic thanks to the sharp contrast and large, open forms. It balances clarity with a touch of drama, making it feel confident rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans voice with added elegance and emphasis through strong stroke contrast and carefully rounded geometry, offering more personality than a purely monolinear grotesk while keeping a clean, contemporary structure.
Uppercase shapes appear steady and monumental, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more animated texture through curved shoulders and thinner joins. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with rounded figures standing out as particularly bold and legible in display settings.
