A clean, upright sans with subtly calligraphic construction and gentle stroke modulation. Stems show slight tapering and soft, flared terminals rather than blunt cuts, giving the letterforms a drawn, humanist feel. Curves are smooth and open, with generous counters and a steady rhythm that reads comfortably in text. The lowercase is rounded and approachable, while capitals remain disciplined and balanced, with consistent proportions and even spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where an even texture and open counters support comfort. It can also serve branding and packaging that wants a restrained, human voice—clean like a sans, but with a touch of typographic warmth for headlines and subheads.
The overall tone is calm and cultivated, leaning toward a bookish, editorial sensibility rather than a purely technical or geometric voice. Its soft tapering and open shapes add warmth and tactility, suggesting a contemporary classic that feels friendly without becoming informal.
The font appears designed to bridge modern sans clarity with a hint of calligraphic influence, prioritizing readability and an inviting texture. Its restrained modulation and softly shaped terminals aim to add personality without sacrificing versatility across text and display settings.
Digits are clear and traditional in proportion, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text suggest stable paragraph color. The design’s subtle modulation and terminal shaping provide character at larger sizes while remaining restrained enough for continuous reading.
