A lively, humanist-leaning sans with softly curved strokes and subtly flared, bracket-like terminals that add a faint serifless “inked” feeling. The forms are generally open and readable, with round counters and gentle modulation that shows through on curves and joins. Proportions feel slightly expansive, with comfortable spacing and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals are rounded and clear, matching the letterforms’ soft, slightly calligraphic construction.
Well-suited for editorial and long-form layouts where a friendly, readable texture is desired, as well as magazine headlines and subheads that benefit from a bit of personality. It can also support brand identities and packaging that want a warm, classic-leaning voice without stepping into overtly serif styling.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, combining everyday readability with a lightly traditional, literary flavor. Its subtle stroke shaping and tapered endings keep it from feeling purely geometric, giving text a personable, slightly handcrafted voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at bridging utilitarian sans readability with subtle, calligraphic shaping to create a distinctive but broadly usable text-and-display companion. Its controlled modulation and softened terminals suggest an intention to feel human and inviting while keeping a clean, contemporary silhouette.
The sample text shows a consistent texture at paragraph sizes, with smooth curves and restrained detail that maintains clarity. The terminals’ gentle flaring adds character in headlines while remaining calm enough for continuous reading.
