A right-leaning italic with clean, mostly sans construction and softly rounded curves. Strokes show gentle modulation with tapered terminals, producing a crisp yet fluid line. Uppercase forms feel open and lightly drawn, with wide bowls and smooth joins, while the lowercase leans more cursive in rhythm, featuring single-storey a and g, long ascenders, and a pronounced, looping descender on y. Numerals match the slanted, refined tone, with graceful curves and consistent stroke endings that keep the texture light and even in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book or essay titles where an italic voice is desired without heavy ornament. It can also serve branding and packaging that aims for a refined, contemporary feel, and works best from medium sizes upward where its tapered details and curved forms can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing modern clarity with a subtle handwritten or editorial flair. Its slant and tapered endings give it momentum and sophistication, reading as confident and cultivated rather than casual.
Likely designed to provide an italic that functions as a distinctive display voice while remaining clean and readable. The combination of open geometry, consistent slant, and tapered terminals suggests an aim for elegance and motion in continuous text settings.
The letterforms emphasize open shapes and smooth continuity, creating a spacious, breathable color on the page. Distinctive details—like the curving j and y and the flowing s—add personality without becoming ornamental, making the style feel refined and intentional.
