A slanted sans with a restrained, humanist rhythm and gently modulated stroke weight. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded bowls and generous apertures, while joins stay crisp and uncluttered. The design favors long, slightly tapered strokes and soft terminals, producing a light, refined texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same fluid construction, with clear differentiation and a graceful, drawn quality.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazines, and brand systems that want a refined italic voice for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages. It can also serve as an elegant accent style alongside an upright companion in UI or print materials where a lighter, more expressive emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is calm and cultivated, with an understated sophistication that reads as contemporary and editorial. Its slant and subtle stroke modulation add motion and warmth without becoming flashy, giving text a polished, literary feel.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary sans italic with a more drawn, humanist character—balancing clarity and openness with a gently calligraphic slant for expressive, premium typography.
The spacing appears even and measured, supporting continuous reading while keeping a delicate, high-end appearance. Letterforms lean consistently and maintain a cohesive curve logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a smooth typographic color.
