A clean, sculpted sans with markedly broad proportions and generous horizontal spacing. Strokes show strong contrast between thick verticals and thinner horizontals/diagonals, giving counters a sharp, chiseled clarity while keeping overall forms rounded and calm. Curves are smooth and geometric, terminals are crisp, and joints stay controlled, producing an even, contemporary rhythm across text. Numerals follow the same wide, open construction, with clear bowls and stable alignment for display use.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and prominent titles where its wide proportions and contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and packaging that aims for a clean, premium look, and for short passages of large-size copy where spacious letterforms aid readability.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing modern restraint with a touch of luxury. Its broad stance and high-contrast detailing feel confident and composed, suited to refined, high-visibility typography rather than casual voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, display-oriented sans that feels refined and authoritative. By combining wide proportions with pronounced stroke contrast and smooth geometric curves, it aims to stand out in editorial and brand settings while remaining orderly and legible.
Round letters maintain open apertures and roomy counters, which helps the dense black strokes avoid clogging at larger sizes. Diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) read as sleek and angular against the otherwise rounded skeleton, adding a subtle fashion-forward edge.
