A clean, contemporary sans with pronounced stroke modulation that reads almost calligraphic in its thick–thin rhythm. Curves are smooth and well-rounded, with tapered joins and a controlled, slightly vertical stress that gives counters a polished, sculpted look. Proportions feel balanced and steady, with generous apertures and clear internal space; round forms like O/Q are spacious, and the figures follow the same restrained, high-finish drawing. Overall spacing appears even and deliberate, supporting a composed texture in paragraphs and large sizes alike.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and identity work where contrast and clean geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial text when set with comfortable leading, producing an elegant, contemporary page color. The numerals are clear enough for navigational or marketing contexts where figures appear alongside text.
The tone is refined and editorial, projecting clarity and taste without feeling cold. The contrast adds a touch of sophistication and formality, while the sans structure keeps it modern and straightforward. It suggests a premium, design-forward voice suited to contemporary branding and publishing.
Likely designed to blend the directness of a modern sans with the elegance typically associated with contrasted drawing. The goal appears to be a versatile, premium-feeling voice that performs strongly in display settings while remaining orderly and legible in text.
The design’s contrast is most evident in rounded letters and in the lighter connecting strokes of forms like S and 2, which creates a lively shimmer at display sizes. Uppercase shapes feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a smooth reading rhythm with open bowls and tidy terminals.
