A crisp, high-contrast typeface with smooth, rounded bowls paired with sharply tapered joins and terminals. The letterforms lean toward tall proportions, with a relatively modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders that give lines a vertical, elegant rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, while straight strokes stay firm and even, creating a polished texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy stems with rounded counters for a cohesive, text-ready feel.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where contrast and vertical elegance enhance hierarchy—such as magazine headlines, section titles, and pull quotes. It can also support refined branding and packaging, and works in short-to-medium text where its crisp texture and open counters can stay legible.
The overall tone feels editorial and refined, balancing modern clarity with a slightly formal, authoritative presence. Its sharpness and contrast read as premium and deliberate rather than casual, making it feel suited to curated, design-forward communication.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice that reads cleanly while adding sophistication to display and editorial typography. The aim appears to be a versatile, polished text-and-display workhorse with strong hierarchy and a premium finish.
Counters are generally open and well-defined, helping maintain clarity in dense settings. The uppercase has a composed, monumental feel, while the lowercase keeps a restrained, contemporary personality with tidy curves and no ornamental gestures.
