A right-leaning italic with smooth, sans-like construction and gently modulated strokes. Curves are broadly drawn and clean, with rounded terminals and a consistent, slightly calligraphic thick–thin flow that reads as controlled rather than decorative. Capitals are tall and narrow with open counters (notably in C, G, O), while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike skeleton; the single-storey forms and simplified bowls keep the texture uncluttered. Numerals follow the same slanted rhythm, with clear, open shapes and minimal internal complexity.
Well suited for headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where an italic voice is needed without resorting to a serif. It can also serve branding and packaging that want a sleek, contemporary tone with a bit of typographic nuance. In longer settings it works best with comfortable spacing, where the slanted rhythm can breathe.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, combining a contemporary clarity with a hint of editorial polish. It feels businesslike and confident rather than playful, with enough stroke modulation to suggest sophistication without becoming ornate.
Likely intended as a versatile italic companion for modern layouts: a clean, sans-leaning italic that adds motion and emphasis while staying disciplined and readable. The moderate modulation appears designed to provide personality and hierarchy without pushing into overtly decorative territory.
The design maintains a steady diagonal momentum across lines of text, producing an even, quick-reading rhythm. The joins and curves stay smooth at display sizes, and the italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, helping it retain legibility in longer phrases.
