A clean oblique sans with a lightly drawn, smooth stroke and gently tapered terminals. The letterforms lean consistently and maintain a steady, even rhythm across text, with round counters and open apertures that keep shapes readable at smaller sizes. Curves are soft and elliptical, while joins stay crisp and uncluttered, producing a streamlined texture. Figures follow the same understated, slightly calligraphic slant with simple, open forms.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazines, and brand systems that want a refined oblique voice without decorative flourishes. It works nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and short to medium text where a graceful forward motion and clean readability are desirable, and can add emphasis in interfaces or presentations when used sparingly.
The overall tone is polished and understated, blending modern simplicity with a subtle, handwritten ease. It feels poised and editorial rather than loud, conveying clarity and sophistication without looking rigid.
The design appears intended as a modern oblique companion with a calm, premium feel—keeping construction simple and rounded while using tapering and slant to add warmth and momentum. It aims to deliver clarity in text with enough character for display and branding use.
Uppercase forms are restrained and contemporary, while a few lowercase shapes introduce gentle personality through curved entries and subtly varied stroke endings. The italic angle is noticeable but not aggressive, helping long passages keep a smooth forward flow.
