A softly modeled text face with gently flared terminals and subtly bracketed joins that give strokes an inked, hand-guided feel while remaining clean and contemporary. Curves are round and open, with moderate stroke modulation and smooth transitions that avoid sharp mechanical corners. Counters are generous and apertures stay open in letters like c, e, and s, supporting clarity at text sizes. The overall rhythm is even, with slightly lively character widths and comfortable spacing that reads naturally in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open shapes and calm rhythm maintain legibility. It also works effectively for brand identities and packaging that want a modern look with a subtle, human warmth, and for headings where the softly flared terminals add character without sacrificing cleanliness.
The tone feels quietly traditional and bookish, with a warm, approachable presence rather than strict neutrality. Its mild calligraphic cues and soft terminals add refinement and a hint of editorial personality without becoming decorative or ornate.
The design appears intended to blend the familiarity of classical text proportions with a contemporary, low-noise finish. By pairing open counters with softly tapered terminals and gentle modulation, it aims to deliver comfortable readability while adding a restrained, cultivated voice.
Uppercase forms lean toward classical proportions with a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable construction. Numerals appear lining and text-friendly, matching the letterforms’ rounded finish and moderate contrast for consistent color in running text.
