A clean, upright latin with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that create a subtly faceted silhouette. Curves are broadly drawn and fairly open, while joins and ends often resolve into angled cuts rather than smooth tapers, giving the outlines a chiseled, high-contrast feel. Uppercase forms read sturdy and slightly wide in their bowls, and the lowercase shows compact, vertical construction with a clear, straightforward rhythm. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong verticals and angled finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and branding where the faceted terminals and stroke modulation can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or product copy when a firm, crafted tone is desired, and it suits posters and packaging that benefit from a sharp, distinctive sans.
The overall tone is editorial and authoritative, balancing contemporary clarity with a hint of engraved or stone-cut character. Its sharp terminals add energy and a slightly dramatic edge without becoming decorative, making it feel confident and assertive on the page.
The design appears intended to merge sans-serif simplicity with a crafted, cut-terminal finish, offering a more characterful alternative to neutral text faces. Its consistent faceting and controlled modulation suggest a focus on display impact and recognizable word shapes while retaining straightforward readability.
The font’s visual identity comes less from ornament and more from consistent angled detailing at terminals and in curved transitions, which adds texture at display sizes. The modulation and faceting can make dense paragraphs feel more insistent than neutral grotesks, especially at larger text settings.
