A crisp serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtle bracketed serifs that broaden into terminals rather than ending bluntly. Strokes stay even and calm, with smooth curves and open counters that keep the texture airy. Proportions read on the broader side, especially in the capitals, while lowercase forms remain steady and straightforward, producing a clean, contemporary rhythm in paragraphs. Numerals are clear and fairly uniform in color, matching the restrained, low‑contrast construction.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, and book text where an even, readable texture is important but a touch of distinctive finishing is desired. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a modern, refined voice with subtle personality rather than overt display styling.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with an editorial polish that feels confident without becoming ornate. The flared finishing gives it a slightly humanist warmth, keeping long text from feeling sterile while still reading crisp and intentional.
The design appears intended to balance contemporary clarity with a gentle serif character, using flared terminals to add identity while preserving a clean, text-friendly rhythm. It reads as a versatile workhorse serif meant to perform in extended reading as well as in prominent headings.
In text, the face maintains a consistent gray value and stable spacing, with round letters staying generously open and straight-sided letters remaining firm and uncluttered. The design emphasizes legibility through clear joins and restrained detailing, letting the flared terminals provide character without adding visual noise.
