This typeface shows a high-contrast, upright construction with softly flared stroke endings that read like subtle, serifless terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with rounded joins and a gentle modulation between thick verticals and thinner horizontals/diagonals. Proportions feel balanced and moderately open, with clear counters and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals are clean and formal while lowercase forms introduce more personality through rounded shoulders and tapered entries. Numerals follow the same contrast and shaping, with curvy figures and refined stroke transitions that keep them visually consistent with the text.
It suits editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and brand identities that want a refined but friendly voice. The contrast and sculpted terminals also make it effective for headings and pull quotes, while the open counters and even rhythm support longer passages at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, blending refinement with an approachable warmth. Its crisp contrast and tapered terminals lend a quietly elegant, literary character without becoming ornate, making the text feel composed and slightly traditional.
The font appears designed to capture a contemporary take on classic, contrast-driven letterforms, using flared, serifless terminals to add sophistication without the visual weight of full serifs. It aims for versatility across text and display by balancing crisp structure with gentle, humanist shaping.
The design relies on controlled stroke modulation and softened terminals rather than sharp corners, which helps large sizes feel smooth and text sizes remain calm. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright color and a slightly lively texture due to contrast and tapered detailing.
