A crisp serif with subtly flared stroke endings and a mostly even, streamlined stroke flow. The letterforms are clean and contemporary, with generous counters and open apertures that keep text airy at larger sizes. Capitals are poised and relatively wide in their round forms (C, G, O), while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharp and neatly tapered. Lowercase shows a large x-height with simple, modern construction and restrained modulation; terminals tend to end in small wedges or gentle flares rather than heavy brackets.
This font suits editorial typography, magazine layouts, and brand systems that want a contemporary serif presence with clean readability. It performs especially well in display and headline settings, and can also support short to medium text where a refined, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone feels refined and modern, with a quiet confidence that reads as premium without becoming ornate. Its controlled detailing and open shapes create a calm, editorial voice—polished, readable, and slightly fashion-forward.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with modern simplification: open forms, a large x-height, and restrained details, paired with flared terminals that add character and finish. It aims for versatility in contemporary publishing and branding while maintaining a composed, premium impression.
Figures are straightforward and legible, with rounded forms that echo the text’s open counters; the “2” and “3” show pronounced curved terminals, while “7” is clean and angled. The lowercase “g” appears single-storey with a broad, curved tail, reinforcing the contemporary, simplified feel. Across the set, stroke endings consistently widen into subtle flares, giving the face a distinctive finish without adding heaviness.
