A text-oriented typeface with clear, slightly calligraphic modulation in the strokes and mostly open apertures. Curves are smooth and fairly generous, while terminals tend to finish in clean, sharp cuts rather than rounded ends. Uppercase proportions feel steady and classical in rhythm, with a pointed apex on A and well-contained, circular forms in O and C. In the lowercase, the two-storey a and g, plus the compact ear and tight joins, give a traditional reading texture; the q has a distinctive descending tail. Figures are lining and straightforward, with a round 0 and a simple 1, and overall spacing reads even without looking mechanical.
Works well for editorial design, long-form reading, and interface copy where a calm, legible texture is important. The crisp terminals and controlled contrast also make it suitable for branding, headlines, and pull quotes when set at larger sizes, especially in print and content-heavy layouts.
The tone is modern and composed, leaning editorial rather than corporate. The subtle contrast and crisp terminals add a refined seriousness, while the open shapes keep it approachable and readable. It suggests clarity and credibility, suited to content that wants to feel considered and well set.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable reading experience with a contemporary finish: traditional letterform cues and a steady cadence, paired with sharper terminals and controlled modulation to keep the page looking crisp and current.
In text, the face shows a consistent rhythm with noticeable but restrained stroke modulation that helps guide the eye along lines. Several glyphs (notably the two-storey a and g and the more traditional lowercase forms) push the personality toward book and magazine typography, even while the overall construction remains clean and contemporary.
