A light, right-leaning italic with smooth, rounded construction and gently tapered terminals. Strokes read as largely monoline, with subtle modulation that adds a handwritten feel without becoming brushy. The letterforms are open and generously proportioned, with a lively rhythm created by the consistent slant and soft curves. Lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height and clear, simple joins; uppercase is similarly streamlined, avoiding heavy ornamentation.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where a refined italic voice is desirable. It can also work for brand accents, invitations, and packaging that benefit from an elegant, flowing tone, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, suggesting a classic editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one. Its slanted posture and soft terminals convey motion and elegance, making it feel expressive yet controlled.
Likely designed as a graceful italic companion for text and display, prioritizing smooth reading rhythm, open shapes, and a contemporary, uncluttered italic flavor. The goal appears to be expressiveness through slant and curvature rather than high-contrast detailing or ornament.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same oblique, flowing logic as the lowercase, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive. The forms stay clean and readable in text, with rounded bowls and restrained detailing that prevent the italic from feeling overly decorative.
