A high-contrast, upright sans with subtly flared terminals and wedge-like joins that give the strokes a chiseled, calligraphic snap without becoming a true serif. Curves are smooth and slightly cupped, with tight, controlled apertures and generally open counters. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps a relatively even rhythm with rounded bowls and compact shoulders; dots and punctuation read clean and deliberate. Numerals are bold and graphic, with clear shapes and pronounced contrast that matches the letterforms.
This font performs best in headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It suits editorial layouts, fashion or cultural branding, and logo work that benefits from a modern, polished voice with a slightly carved, graphic finish.
The overall tone is contemporary and editorial, blending elegance with a slightly sculpted, crafted edge. It feels confident and refined, suitable for settings that want sophistication without traditional serif formality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary sans presence while borrowing the visual sophistication of calligraphic contrast and subtly flared endings. The intent reads as a display-forward typeface that remains structured enough for selective text use, prioritizing characterful texture and crisp silhouette.
The design emphasizes strong vertical presence and crisp diagonals, especially visible in letters like A, V, W, X, and Y, where the thin strokes sharpen to fine points. Terminal treatment and contrast create a lively texture in text, producing a distinctive pattern at larger sizes.
