A clean, open sans with generously spaced letterforms and pronounced contrast between slender joins and fuller curves. Rounds are built from smooth, nearly circular bowls that feel slightly flattened at the sides, while verticals stay straight and crisp. Terminals tend toward tapered, subtly flared ends that give strokes a sculpted finish rather than blunt cuts. The overall rhythm is even and legible, with wide apertures and simple construction across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where its open, high-contrast forms can breathe—such as headlines, editorial layouts, and brand identities. It can also work for short blocks of text in spacious settings, especially where a refined, contemporary voice is desired.
The tone is contemporary and editorial, combining airy refinement with a quiet confidence. Its high-contrast, open shapes read as polished and intentional, lending a premium, design-forward feel without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to offer a modern, high-contrast sans option that feels elegant and spacious, balancing geometric roundness with tapered terminals for a distinctive, premium texture in display and editorial typography.
In text, the spacing and broad forms create a relaxed, breathable color on the page. Curved letters and numerals show the strongest contrast, and the tapered terminals add a slightly calligraphic sheen while remaining firmly in a clean, minimalist style.
