A clean, upright text face with subtle stroke modulation and gently flared terminals that suggest a humanist, lightly calligraphic construction. Curves are smooth and open, with generous counters in letters like C, O, and e, and a generally even, calm rhythm in running text. The uppercase has a crisp, modern skeleton with softened joins, while the lowercase shows readable, rounded forms and a straightforward two-storey a. Numerals are clear and balanced, with smooth bowls and restrained detailing that stays consistent across the set.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as articles, essays, and book or magazine typography, where the open shapes and gentle modulation support sustained legibility. It can also serve in brand systems and UI typography that want a neutral base with a touch of warmth, and it holds up cleanly for headings when set with ample tracking.
The tone reads polished and editorial without feeling sharp or sterile. Its mild calligraphic inflection adds warmth and approachability, giving text a composed, cultured presence suited to reading environments.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary text sans with a refined finish—combining modern clarity with subtle humanist detailing to avoid a purely mechanical feel.
Terminals and joins tend to finish with slight widening or tapering rather than blunt cuts, which adds texture at larger sizes while remaining unobtrusive in paragraphs. Overall spacing appears comfortable and the shapes maintain clarity across mixed-case settings and numerals.
