A slanted, lightly calligraphic italic with smooth, open curves and restrained stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from rounded bowls and elliptical counters, with a consistent diagonal stress and tapered terminals that keep the texture crisp without becoming sharp. Proportions feel moderately narrow-to-average with generous sidebearings, and the rhythm is even across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing an airy, continuous flow in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography, pull quotes, and product or cultural branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work effectively in posters and packaging as a refined accent style, and as a secondary typographic layer to add contrast and motion alongside a more neutral roman.
The overall tone is refined and contemporary, with a calm, polished presence that reads as sophisticated rather than flashy. Its italic energy adds motion and emphasis while staying controlled, making it feel editorial and design-forward.
The design appears intended to provide a modern italic that balances geometric clarity with subtle, pen-like modulation. It aims for a smooth reading rhythm and a premium, contemporary feel that can carry emphasis without sacrificing cleanliness.
Uppercase forms remain simple and geometric while the lowercase shows more pronounced cursive behavior, especially in joining-like strokes and the soft, sweeping terminals. Numerals follow the same oblique stance and rounded construction, helping mixed content maintain a unified color.
