A clean, text-oriented sans with gently flared stroke endings and subtle modulation that reads as crisp rather than mechanical. Curves are broad and smooth, with open apertures and a slightly high waist in rounded letters that keeps counters clear at text sizes. Proportions feel balanced and slightly condensed in the lowercase, while capitals stay simple and steady with restrained, classical geometry. Numerals are lining and fairly traditional in construction, matching the overall quiet rhythm and consistent spacing.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, books, reports, and long-form web reading where a neutral but polished texture is desirable. It can also support understated branding and UI copy when a warm, less-geometric sans is preferred.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, with a refined, editorial feel. It suggests clarity and trustworthiness more than punchy display energy, bringing a calm, contemporary voice to headlines and long-form reading.
Likely designed as a versatile, readable sans that bridges contemporary minimalism with subtle, humanist detailing. The aim appears to be even color in paragraphs, clear letterforms, and a measured personality that stays out of the way while still feeling crafted.
Distinctive details include softly tapered terminals on letters like t and r, a two-storey g with a generous lower bowl, and a hooked j descender that adds a hint of personality without disrupting the system. The ampersand and punctuation maintain the same controlled, understated character as the letters.
