This typeface is a clean italic with softly rounded, humanist construction and gently modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and open, with oval counters and a consistent rightward slant that creates a flowing rhythm across words. Terminals are mostly tapered and slightly sheared rather than blunt, giving letters a quick, pen-like finish without becoming decorative. Uppercase forms stay restrained and readable, while the lowercase shows more movement—especially in the single-storey a and g and the long, sweeping descenders—resulting in an overall light, agile texture.
It suits magazine and book typography, especially for emphasis, subheads, pull quotes, and refined headline settings. The clean italic voice also works well for branding and packaging where a modern, premium tone is needed without resorting to overt ornamentation.
The overall tone feels elegant and editorial, combining modern clarity with a subtle calligraphic warmth. It reads as polished and intentional rather than playful, with enough motion to convey sophistication and forward momentum.
The design appears aimed at providing an italic that feels like a complete voice of its own—smooth, contemporary, and readable—balancing a typographic italic’s clarity with a hint of handwritten flow for expressive text setting.
Spacing appears comfortable and slightly generous, which helps the italic maintain clarity in longer lines. Figures follow the same slanted, curved logic as the letters, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
