This typeface shows a clean, upright structure with subtly modulated strokes and gently flared terminals that give many joins a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are round and full (notably in O/Q/C), while straight strokes remain steady and crisp, producing a controlled, slightly sculpted rhythm. Uppercase forms read as sturdy and balanced with moderate proportions, and the lowercase carries a traditional, bookish silhouette with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a simple, vertical i/j treatment. Numerals follow the same restrained contrast and include distinctive angled forms (such as the 2) and a more ornamental, curving 9 that adds character without breaking consistency.
It suits editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and brand systems that want a composed, established voice. The clear uppercase and characterful numerals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and poster-style settings where a refined but not overly decorative texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—polished, confident, and slightly classical rather than strictly utilitarian. The subtle stroke modulation and flared terminals add a refined, crafted quality that suggests tradition and credibility while still reading cleanly at display and text sizes.
The design appears intended to blend contemporary cleanliness with classical, calligraphic cues, offering a versatile reading texture that still has distinctive, crafted terminals. It aims for credibility and elegance in longer text while retaining enough character to stand out in display use.
Distinctive details include a Q with a pronounced tail, a W built from sharp diagonals, and pointed, wedge-like finishes on several letters that create crisp word shapes. Spacing in the sample text appears even and calm, supporting continuous reading while keeping a touch of personality in headings and emphasized lines.
