This typeface has broad proportions with a calm, even rhythm and low stroke modulation. Serifs and terminals flare outward in a subtle, calligraphic way, creating wedge-like feet and tapered joins rather than blunt slabs. Round letters (O, C, G, e) are wide with open apertures and smooth, controlled curves, while diagonals (V, W, Y, X) end in crisp, slightly splayed tips. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and sturdy, simplified forms with minimal ornament, keeping the texture even in longer lines.
Its wide proportions and flared serif detail make it well suited to headlines, editorial layouts, and brand identities where a refined but modern voice is needed. It performs especially well at display sizes and in short-to-medium text settings such as pull quotes, section heads, and product or cultural branding.
Overall it feels modern and composed, with a hint of classical influence from the flared serif shaping. The wide stance and open forms give it an expansive, airy tone that reads as confident and contemporary rather than traditional or delicate.
The design appears intended to blend contemporary clarity with a restrained serif character, using flared terminals to add sophistication without relying on high contrast or intricate detailing. The tall x-height and open shapes prioritize readability while the wide stance emphasizes presence and style.
The numerals follow the same wide, low-contrast construction, and the set maintains consistent flare behavior at stroke endings across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. In the text sample, the generous width and large x-height produce a prominent, high-presence color on the page, especially at display sizes.
