A refined, humanist-leaning sans with subtly flared stroke endings and occasional bracket-like joins that give the outlines a gently sculpted feel. Curves are smooth and generously open, with round bowls and moderate apertures; diagonals and arms show slight modulation in thickness and a calm, even rhythm. Proportions read balanced rather than condensed or extended, with clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase and sturdy, legible numerals.
Works well for extended reading in editorial layouts, publishing, and interfaces that want a more classical, humanist texture. It can also support identity and branding where a restrained, trustworthy tone is preferred, and where subtle detailing can add character without becoming decorative.
The overall tone feels traditional and literate, with a quiet formality that suggests bookish credibility rather than a stark modern voice. Its softened terminals and controlled shapes add warmth and restraint, lending the text a composed, editorial character.
Likely intended to bridge a clean sans foundation with understated, traditional detailing, offering a familiar text voice with just enough shaping at terminals and joins to feel crafted and approachable.
The italic style is not shown; the displayed forms remain straight and steady, with details like a looped, double-storey “g” and a classic two-storey “a” reinforcing a text-focused, conventional construction. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, supporting continuous reading without looking overly mechanical.
