A sturdy, contrasted sans with a clean, contemporary build and crisp edges. Stroke joins are sharp and decisive, with visible modulation that adds snap to round forms like C, O, and S. Terminals are largely straight and slightly sheared, giving the face a chiseled, cut-paper feel rather than a purely monoline look. Counters tend to be compact and apertures relatively closed, while bowls and stems read solid and weighty, producing strong color in text. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey g and simple, compact bowls; numerals are bold and graphic, with distinctive curves on 2, 3, 5, and 9 and a firm, vertical 1.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where strong typographic color is an advantage. It can work well for branding and packaging that needs a clean but impactful sans, and for editorial layouts seeking a modern, high-contrast sans presence.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with an editorial edge. Its contrast and crisp terminals create a confident, slightly stylish voice that feels more display-oriented than purely utilitarian, while still staying clear and legible at larger text sizes.
The design appears intended to blend a clean sans structure with noticeable stroke modulation for extra personality and punch. By keeping forms simple and upright while adding crisp, sheared terminals and compact counters, it aims for a contemporary display voice that remains disciplined and readable.
The rhythm is tight and dense, especially in the sample text, where the heavy verticals and compact counters create a strong typographic block. Round letters show controlled modulation, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear particularly forceful due to their sharp angles and sturdy weight.
