A clean, lightly modulated sans with humanist proportions and subtle, wedge-like flaring at many stroke ends. Curves are smooth and open, with generous apertures in letters like C, S, and e, while verticals stay straight and steady. The uppercase has a refined, slightly sculpted feel—seen in the angled joins and tapered diagonals—while the lowercase keeps simple bowls and a straightforward, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with rounded forms and modest contrast that adds definition without becoming sharp or decorative.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and brand systems that want a modern sans with a refined edge. It performs especially well in headings and subheads where the tapered terminals and sculpted joins are visible, while remaining clear enough for short-to-medium passages in UI or web content.
The overall tone is contemporary and polished, with a quiet sophistication that reads as editorial and design-forward rather than purely utilitarian. The slight calligraphic influence in terminals adds warmth and craft, keeping the voice friendly while still feeling precise and professional.
The design appears intended to bridge neutral sans legibility with a subtle crafted personality, using gentle stroke modulation and flared terminals to differentiate it from more geometric or purely grotesque sans styles. It aims for versatility in contemporary publishing and branding, providing a distinctive texture without sacrificing clarity.
Diagonal strokes (A, V, W, X, Y) show controlled tapering and pointed terminals, giving the font a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) appear balanced and airy, and the design maintains a consistent, uncluttered texture across longer text while retaining distinctive character in headings.
