A slender, tall-proportioned roman with smooth, softly modulated strokes and rounded joins. Curves are drawn with a gentle, humanist feel rather than rigid geometry, giving bowls and rounds an open, spacious interior. Terminals are mostly plain and unadorned, with occasional subtle flaring and a slight calligraphic influence in the way curves transition into stems. Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical, while lowercase keeps clear differentiation through simple, legible shapes; overall spacing reads even and calm in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazines, and cultural or lifestyle branding where a light typographic color and tall rhythm can add elegance without feeling ornate. It can work effectively for packaging and poster headlines that need a refined, understated presence, and for short text passages where openness and clarity are prioritized.
The font conveys a quiet, refined tone—clean and contemporary at a glance, but with a subtle vintage, bookish warmth in its proportions and stroke behavior. Its narrow rhythm feels tidy and editorial, suggesting restraint and clarity rather than bold display impact.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, readable sans voice with a gently humanist, slightly retro character—balancing modern simplicity with softer curves and calm, editorial proportions.
Figures are simple and consistent with the text style, with rounded forms and straightforward construction that keeps them visually compatible in running text. The overall color on the page is light and even, supporting comfortable continuous reading at larger text sizes.
