Its verticals display both convex and concave curvature, with entasis and ectasis on opposite sides of stems, high-branching arcades in the lowercase, large apertures, and unique ogee curves on diagonals. The italic style includes calligraphic and serif font influences, common in modern sans-serif typefaces. It supports most of the WGL4 character set and offers OpenType features such as automatic ligatures, various numeral styles, and small caps.
