A round, humanist sans with softly flared terminals and subtly modulated strokes that add a gentle, pen-like texture without reading as a serif face. Curves are generous and open, with oval bowls and a slightly organic baseline rhythm; joins and corners tend to ease into curves rather than snap to hard angles. Lowercase shows a tall x-height with clear, open counters, while uppercase feels broad and calm, with consistent proportions and smooth, even color in text. Figures are oldstyle-like in feel, with flowing curves and varied silhouettes that match the lively letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial design where a friendly, characterful sans is needed for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, and it can also support comfortable reading in short-to-medium text blocks. Its warm personality works nicely for branding, packaging, and book-cover typography where a classic-but-modern voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a lightly vintage, editorial flavor. Its soft terminals and rounded construction create an approachable voice that feels cultured rather than clinical, lending a subtle charm to both headlines and longer passages.
The font appears designed to blend the clarity of a sans with the warmth of humanist, lightly calligraphic detailing. The intent seems to be a versatile everyday typeface that avoids sterility by introducing soft flares, rounded forms, and an easy, readable rhythm.
The design’s gentle stroke modulation and flared endings give it a distinctive texture at display sizes, while the open apertures and straightforward construction help it remain readable in paragraphs. The rhythm is slightly organic, producing a lively, less mechanical cadence across lines of text.
