A high-contrast sans with broadly proportioned forms and a strong vertical stance. The design mixes sturdy, block-like stems with sharply thinned joins and tapered terminals, creating a carved, faceted look in places. Curves are clean and round yet often meet straight strokes with abrupt, angular transitions; several letters show small notches or pinched connections that read like subtle ink traps. Lowercase forms are large relative to capitals, with open apertures and simplified construction that stays crisp and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and angular joins can be appreciated—headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or packaging callouts where a bold, modern voice is needed without resorting to decorative styling.
The tone is contemporary and graphic, balancing polish with a slightly industrial edge. Its sharp transitions and bold silhouettes give it an assertive, headline-forward character that feels at home in modern branding and editorial design.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary sans profile with dramatic stroke modulation and distinctive joint shaping, creating strong word images and a memorable typographic signature in branding and editorial contexts.
The contrast is expressed less as traditional thick–thin calligraphy and more as intentional thinning at joints and terminals, producing a distinctive rhythm across words. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the sample suggests consistent spacing and a clear, punchy texture in text lines.
