A clean, upright roman with gently flared, serif-like terminals and subtle stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and generously open, with round counters in letters like O, C, and e, and a steady baseline rhythm that keeps words even and readable. Uppercase forms feel formal and structured, while the lowercase shows more humanist shaping (notably the single-storey a and g), with rounded joins and slightly tapered ends that add warmth without becoming decorative.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a refined texture is desired. It also performs nicely in brand wordmarks, packaging, and display headlines that benefit from a restrained, classic tone without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, leaning editorial rather than technical. It reads as calm and trustworthy, with a slight classical flavor from its tapered terminals and measured contrast, giving text a polished, literary presence.
The design appears intended to bridge modern clarity with a lightly classical finish, using open shapes for legibility while adding personality through tapered terminals and gentle modulation. It aims to feel versatile in text while still offering enough character for display use.
Numerals are clear and traditionally proportioned, with smooth curves and modest contrast that helps them sit comfortably in running text. The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains a consistent, upright texture across both large sizes and paragraph settings.
