A clean, serifless design with gently modulated strokes and a noticeably calligraphic taper at many terminals. Curves are smooth and generous, with open counters and rounded joins that keep the texture light and readable at text sizes. Proportions lean toward a classic bookish rhythm: capitals are broad and steady, while lowercase forms show subtle humanist shaping, including a two-storey “g,” a double-storey “a,” and a softly bracketless, slightly flared finish on verticals. Numerals follow the same restrained modulation, with rounded forms (notably 8 and 9) and a simple, straightforward 1 and 7.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a polished, contemporary voice is needed—magazines, essays, book interiors, and sophisticated web articles. It also works effectively for branding and display lines that benefit from a calm, upscale presence without overt decoration.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing modern simplicity with a quiet, traditional warmth. Its gentle contrast and tapered endings give it a cultured, literary feel rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to offer a modern sans foundation with a more nuanced, calligraphic finish—adding elegance and readability through subtle stroke modulation, open forms, and carefully tapered terminals.
The face maintains an even, comfortable color in paragraph settings, helped by open apertures and clear differentiation between similarly shaped letters. Terminals often feel subtly “inked,” creating a polished texture that reads as premium without becoming ornamental.
