Express.

Soft inktraps and optically-sensitive curves. We lock opsz to 144 — its maximum display setting — which pushes the inktraps fully open and makes the stroke contrast most expressive.

Confidence looks
good on you.

High-contrast, refined letterforms with a classical foundation. Used exclusively for italic accents in display headlines — the contrast with Fraunces creates tension between weight and elegance.

Google Fonts ↗

Three days of acting, modelling, runway, and on-camera training led by working professionals. Walk away with portfolio images and the confidence that comes from doing it for real.

Neutral and legible across all weights. The variable width axis (wdth 75–125) is unused — we run at normal width for maximum clarity on screen.

Designed for code, appropriated for labels. The fixed-width rhythm and low-cap-height give eyebrow text a structured, tabular feeling that contrasts the display type without competing.
