This typeface uses a clean, serifless construction with noticeable calligraphic modulation: strokes swell and taper, producing a crisp high-contrast rhythm. Curves are smooth and generous, with open counters and apertures that keep letters clear even as stroke endings narrow. Many terminals resolve into soft, rounded or teardrop-like finishes, giving the forms a subtly scripted feel while staying structurally straightforward. Uppercase proportions are steady and slightly expansive, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and modest extenders; numerals appear oldstyle in character with varying heights and curving strokes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where a polished texture is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that wants a modern, serifless silhouette with a more cultivated, calligraphic finish, and it reads comfortably at text sizes while still offering character in display settings.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, balancing clarity with a touch of elegance. The tapered strokes and soft terminals add warmth and sophistication, lending a composed, classic voice rather than a stark utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans structure enriched by calligraphic contrast and softened terminals, aiming for an elegant reading texture without relying on serifs. It prioritizes smooth curves, open counters, and a poised rhythm that can bridge text and display use.
Spacing and rhythm read evenly in paragraph text, with rounded joins and smooth diagonals contributing to a gentle flow. The design’s contrast and terminal treatment give it a distinctive texture on the line, especially in words with many curves and diagonals.
