Designer note: why Refined exists
Refined is the contemporary single-column with the most attention to typography detail — adjusted leading, careful letterspacing, slightly larger body type. It's for senior candidates in design, branding, and creative-strategy contexts who want a contemporary feel without the structural moves of Modern or Bold.
