A slim, upright text face with a gently calligraphic construction and clear stroke modulation. Terminals often flare or taper into subtle wedge-like endings, giving the outlines a sharpened, slightly chiseled finish rather than fully blunt cuts. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and diagonals show crisp angles that add rhythm and definition. Proportions are compact and lean, with neatly balanced counters and a consistent, lightly drawn color that stays readable in continuous text.
This font suits editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and pull quotes where a light, refined texture is desired. Its distinctive terminal treatment also works well for branding, packaging, and short display lines that benefit from a subtle signature without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone feels literary and refined, with a touch of idiosyncratic charm from its flared terminals and lively stroke transitions. It reads as modern and clean at a glance, yet carries enough hand-influenced nuance to feel warm rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend contemporary clarity with restrained calligraphic influence, creating a readable text face that still has a recognizable personality. The flared, tapered endings and controlled contrast suggest a focus on elegant rhythm and a slightly crafted feel in running copy.
Capital forms show a restrained, elegant presence, and the lowercase maintains an even cadence with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are similarly slender and crisp, matching the letterforms’ tapered finishing and maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
