A humanist, calligraphic sans with subtly flared terminals and visible stroke modulation. Curves are softly rounded while joins and diagonals introduce a slightly angular, hand-cut rhythm. Proportions feel moderately compact with open counters and clear internal shapes; capitals are steady and classical in stance, while lowercase forms show more personality (notably in the single-storey a and g, and the curved, hook-like tails and terminals). Overall spacing reads even and text holds together smoothly, with enough variation in stroke and terminal treatment to keep the texture lively.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and cultural or educational branding where a human touch is welcome. It also performs nicely in headlines and display settings, where the flared terminals and modulation add character and make short phrases feel crafted.
The tone is warm and literary, with a handmade, slightly old-world flavor that stays restrained rather than decorative. It suggests friendly authority—comfortable for reading, but distinctive enough to feel curated and crafted. The gentle modulation and flared ends add a subtle historic or editorial voice without tipping into overtly traditional serif territory.
The design appears intended to bridge modern sans clarity with calligraphic warmth—offering a readable, versatile text voice that still carries a distinctive, hand-shaped signature. It aims for an editorial-friendly texture with understated personality rather than neutral minimalism.
Distinctive details include wedge-like or tapered endings on many strokes, a lively rhythm in diagonals (K, V, W, X), and rounded numerals with a soft, contemporary feel. The sample text shows good flow at larger sizes, where the terminal shaping and modulation become a key part of the texture.
