A subtly modulated text face with clean, mostly serifless stems that end in small wedge-like flares and angled cuts. Stroke contrast is noticeable but controlled, giving rounds a slightly calligraphic thick–thin rhythm without becoming sharp or spiky. Proportions are balanced with generous internal space, open apertures, and a steady baseline presence; curves are smooth and slightly flattened at joins, while diagonals feel crisp and well-aligned. The lowercase shows traditional text-type cues (a two-storey “a”, looped forms, and a compact “t”), and the numerals read as straightforward and evenly weighted for continuous reading.
Works well for long-form reading in editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine text where a calm, refined texture is desirable. It can also support brand systems and packaging that want a modern, clean look with a discreet classic twist, especially in headings paired with smaller text.
The overall tone feels editorial and composed—polished enough for books and magazines, with a quiet, slightly formal character. The gentle flare at terminals adds warmth and a crafted feel, suggesting a bridge between modern sans simplicity and classic inscriptional influence.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable readability with a distinctive but understated voice—combining sans-like clarity with subtle, inscriptional terminal shaping to create a sophisticated text texture.
In paragraph settings the design maintains an even color with clear word shapes, helped by open counters and restrained detailing. Uppercase forms appear sturdy and legible, while the lowercase adds a touch of personality through its flared endings and softly calligraphic modulation.
